150. I would say if it were someone going up against a Republican then yes, it would be business as usual

but since this is a primary and she's doing this against a fellow Dem, who at this point is going to be the nominee, and who isn't doing the same things she is, who is showing restraint and dignity, it looks and feels a lot worse.

I think we hold the Dems to a higher standard and when a primary turns to cannibalism and begins the hurt the party's chances in the general it becomes beyond inexcusable.

And it still hasn't stopped! She's got Bill out there talking like a crazy person, again saying Republicans are better than Obama. No, he didn't say his name, but it was clear that's who he was talking about when he said that the Dems don't want to count every vote.

If she and her most ardent supporters would just stop people would ease up on them, but they won't. They have crossed the line and they just don't care. For Hillary it is all about her and that's why people are so angry at her now. Her continued behavior is going to potentially hurt the party and create/exacerbate racial divisions that are not what the Dem party is supposed to be about.
