2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. [View all]
Go look through the last 20,000 emails you sent. Find the very worst one. The one you sent when you were in a bad mood, when someone broke up with you, when you were angry, drunk, awkward, half-joking, trying to blow off steam, whatever.
Then imagine it plastered all over the media, people insisting that that one worst email you ever sent, which you have now forgotten about and had no idea or intention anyone would ever see, and imagine people try to make the case that that one email represents you and everything you stand for.
It's good politics, sure. Congratulations Putin. But it's a farce.

First, I never sent a single bigoted email and never will. Second, false equivalency much?

It's crazy that you are trying to make excuses for a Bernie surrogate calling Hillary a whore.
