DU will be less contentious after July 26, 2016....Cuz all Hillary attacks will have to cease. [View all]

That is if she is the nominee, which I am hoping she isnt, I am hoping it is someone else who is also able to win, but if she is the nominee, based on the rules here, all these endless threads attacking her will have to stop.

Right?

Or am I reading the rules wrong?

Dont like the word "attack" fine, call it what you want, but you know what I mean.
