But see, that's exactly the thing: When the woman introducing you at one of your own rallies is bringing up Monica Lewinsky, your people are not focusing on real issues. On the contrary, they -- and by extension your campaign -- are focusing on crap. You can't pretend to be running an exclusively above-the-board operation, one far more above-the-board than the opponent you call corrupt, and have supporters and spokespeople coming on minutes before you claiming your political adversaries are "whores" or bringing up 20-year-old scandals that have no bearing whatsoever on the race. But that's what Sanders is doing more and more as the clock winds down to oblivion on his Cinderella candidacy. He's still claiming the moral high ground while his closest surrogates are given free rein to behave like petty political hitmen.

Riff~
