Yes I think it is scorched earth when you impugn a candidate's integrity and suggest that they are bribed by energy or wall street or whatever contributors. If that is really true how are you going to support this candidate when nominated (and she does have a couple million more votes so far than Bernie)? This is sounding suspiciously like the repub campaign - candidates saying they'll support the eventual nominee but meanwhile making accusations which if true are disqualifying. Yep, Bernie and his camp have gone negative. And if the true believer Bernie camp on this board is representative, very negative.
And some of the Bern thing is ridiculous cult of personality, like that hagiographic drawing of Bernie with the sparrow. It looks like those comic book heroic poses you see picturing dictators and glorious sunbeams. Give me a break! Perhaps he should run for saint rather than prez. (And when I watched the vid, the spell was broken when he forgot the bird was there and waved his arm, then tried to make some facile comparison of a real finch to an abstract dove of peace.) People are swooning over Bernie's uncompromising far left crankery, as though jeering from the sidelines in Congress for decades is a record of accomplishment. The Peter Principle candidate: he hasn't done well in congress so let's make him president! A left-wing Ted Cruz. Plus it's all so one-dimensional. Single theme and everything else is vague. Nearly as canned and memorized as Rubio.
