That Eichenwald article is brutal.
Explains why it isn’t very popular on Kos right now.
;P
And it’s no doubt just the tip of the iceberg. The GOP’s attack plan would have basically been “Sanders says one thing, does another.” He sells himself as worried about the environment, but he was prepared to dump nuclear waste in a Hispanic neighborhood. He says he’s against war, but he has voted time and again for foreign conflicts and loves him some defense spending (when it goes to Vermont). Says he has no connections to big banks or special interests, but keeps dodging on releasing his tax returns. And so forth.
The GOP wasn’t playing nice with him because they respected or (*snicker*) “feared” him. They had his ass dialed in and would have fired for effect the moment he clinched the nomination.
