The left of the Democratic Party has long been uneasy about Clinton’s coziness with the corporate world. But the emphatic, persistent way in which Sanders is attacking her on the topic risks painting her as a cipher of Wall Street — and such a charge could drain liberal grassroots enthusiasm if she locks up the nomination.
“I am worried about the increasingly harsh tone and tenor of this campaign [that could] turn off Sanders supporters in the general [election],” said strategist Jim Manley, a former aide to Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who has endorsed Clinton. “I’m afraid they’re going to stay home.”
The tensions escalated on Monday, when the Sanders campaign alleged there were “serious apparent violations” of campaign finance laws under what it termed “a joint fundraising deal between Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee.”
Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook shot back with a statement accusing the rival campaign of “false attacks.”
Mook added, “As Senator Sanders faces nearly insurmountable odds, he is resorting to baseless accusations of illegal actions and poisoning the well for Democratic candidates up and down the ticket.”
Clinton currently leads Sanders by 244 pledged delegates, according to The Associated Press’s delegate tracker, and has an even bigger advantage among the party’s unpledged superdelegates. She leads Sanders by 10 points in most polls of New York, where 247 pledged delegates are at stake.
Manley said that amplified rhetoric in the run-up to the New York primary has brought the party to the brink of serious problems.

Who is on the list for a Hillary VP slot? I haven’t seen any speculation.
Should be fun to watch. Popcorn anyone?
Do you know who wrote/played it? I learned about it on AXSTV the other day.

Whoops! I guess your thinking of the danger zone song. lol
He's a really old guy. It could end up with the Speaker of the House as President. Which would not be an improvement unless Ryan is Cantorized.
The dems actually have a problem there. With Obama as Pres, there have been no noteworthy pols who've emerged. Elizabeth Warren? I don't think she's met expectations. Do they have anyone else who's qualified?

I am thinking that this election may very well be the looked back on as the beginning of the end of Socialism around the world.
What is happening in the US is not unique, it is also occurring in Europe.
The frogs in the pot are beginning to feel the heat, hope it is not too late.
As my father said when I was a young man, no one who is qualified even wants to be president.
He also said of course all the candidates have massive egos. No one gets to be president without a massive ego. So regardless of appearances, Hillary and Trump are not the only ones with gigantic egos.
We may get screwed a little less with one candidate over the other. But we are surely going to get screwed.
I'll assume your hypothesis is true. (although I really believe Trump might be able to change the trajectory for the better):
My conclusion? If as you say, we're goin' down anyway, we might as well interject some fun into the ride! All the more reason to support Trump. <^..^>
Bernie's most redeeming quality, for sure!
When America’s Millennials figure out how to register to vote, Sanders would probably crush any of his opponents on election day. There’s a reason the Sanders campaign has spent so much of its time trying to teach its idiot voting base how to cast a vote, because the socialist virus has almost entirely consumed the younger generations (and controls a large percentage of the older generations as well).
No, Sander supporters hater her for her corruption.
I also agree with you. In for a penny, in for a pound.
We are probably going down the crapper, but I’ll see that psychopathic, Stalinistic harridan in Hell first.
It's always unwise to underestimate your opponent. Those millenials who can't figure out how to register have propelled the old commie to victory after victory.
You can register to vote online now.
If it’s online, Milleinals have figured it out.
Oh, I’m not underestimating them by any means. Given the success liberals have had in lowering the voting age and getting rid of mandatory voting IDs, even the most clueless of liberals will most likely be guaranteed a vote.
Still, it should be pointed out that states which make it harder to register as a Democrat are typically won by Hitlery, while states which make it easier to register as a Democrat (or states which let Independents vote in primaries) are won by Sanders.
Bernie was originally in the race as fake opposition: there to create the false impression of a primary election rather than a coronation for Hillary. He was the only Democrat other than Hillary to get any decent media coverage because he was considered unelectable. For a while, Bernie played the part of fake opposition well, i.e. saying "we're all tired of hearing about your damn emails."
When Bernie realized that in spite of this he was winning in major states, he went from fake opposition to authentic opposition. But the joke's on him. In the end, even if he manages to muscle ahead of Hillary in pledged delegates after solid primary wins, the superdelegates will see to it that Hillary gets the nomination. It's not so different from what the RNC is trying to do to Trump and his supporters.
what it boils down to is that hillary is crooked
