Is the Clinton Campaign really aiming for a Pyrrhic Victory? [View all]

With her campaign now vowing scorched earth against Bernie Sanders, and to 'unify the party later,' are they out of their political minds or what is happening?

There is no way this is the strategy of a confident winner with an insurmountable lead, or this is the ravings of a campaign manager turned lunatic.

If she adopts this strategy she may yet claim the nomination, but mark my words, the Democrats will be doomed come GE time. This is a strategy with about the most short term egotistical methodology under the sun.
