Iowa? Massachusetts? Nevada? South Carolina? Texas? March 15 states?

^ All places where Sanders lost despite spending money there.

Sorry, Clintonistas, but Primary challengers typically don't care about their opponents GE Welfare. And Sanders doesn't even consider himself a Democrat. He may endorse you, he may endorse Stein (not likely but possible), but don't expect him to actually campaign for anyone. And negative campaigning is part of life. Also, why are you afraid to be challenged properly? Is there something you're trying to hide? Maybe the fact that hardly any of the bills you sponsored while in the Senate were signed into law?

As I recall, Sanders in late Fall, to his detriment,  refused to go after Clinton on emails. That was a strategic mistake, as now, as Clinton supporters are deeming her inevitable and Sanders is racking up victories.

Yeah, he shouldn't have said what he said in the 1st debate about that. He probably didn't think he could actually win the primary at the time, but still. Obviously a direct attack on her was the wrong course of action at that time (Chafee tried and failed), but just staying quiet (and giving a generic "I'm not talking about that in this campaign." response if directly asked to respond) would have been far better than his actual action - coming right out, unrequested, and essentially acquitting her of any wrongdoing.

Dang, you guys must have some good stuff in Minnesota. I'm jealous.

Ron Paul ran insurgent republican campaigns in 2008 and 2012 (admittedly much weaker ones) and endorsed select third-partiers in the general both times. Just because it's considered the "right thing to do" to endorse the nominee doesn't mean it's impossible for notable candidates to "stay neutral" or even make a cross party endorsement.

Neither Stein nor Sanders is a communist.

OK, my statement isn't literally true, but my point was that Albright is nasty.

So is Tad Devine constantly intimating that African American voters, essentially, aren't worth competing over, or that certain states count more than others... politics ain't beanbag.

Literally in the Clinton play book.

Unless you are quoting 2008 Hillary, I have no idea what you are referring to? I look forward to your copious links to all the times Hillary or her staff have dismissed states in this cycle.

They've written off most caucuses, believing they are sexist dwellings.
