83. I am going to trust YOUR characterizations? Naaah. Let''s bold all the pro-Bern/Anti-Clinton posts
Wed Dec 9, 2015, 06:25 PM
Dec 2015

This doesn't mean all the unbolded ones are pro-Hillary/anti-Sanders...there are "neutral" comments in the pile, like polling data and exhortations for unity.

Further, this is in the wake of the Sanders campaign making a HUGE (yuuuuuuuuge?) tactical mistake by having the untested, inexperienced press secretary try to order the press to not ask questions about a specific topic (ISIS). That generated a large number of posts--and deservedly so. His campaign screwed up and people noticed. The vast majority of the critical posts are about that particular issue, they aren't generic "Waaaah Bernie sux" posts, or "Let's dig into Bernie's past/Bernie's wife's past and try to make something of it" posts, either.
