Hillary Clinton’s supporters are attacking liberal rival Bernie Sanders more forcefully than ever before.
It’s a tactic that has some Democrats shaking their heads, while allies of Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont, cite it as evidence that their candidate is gaining traction.
“When your opponents and people who represent them wade into the conversation with attacks against you, for us it’s a recognition of the fact that something must be working,” said Tad Devine, a senior adviser to Sanders. “It’s a basic rule in politics that you don’t attack somebody if they are not doing well.”
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), a Clinton backer, launched the sharpest attack yet on Sanders on Thursday morning. Appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” McCaskill assailed him for having “an extreme message” and being “unrealistic.”
The Missouri senator also complained that the media were “not giving the same scrutiny to Bernie Sanders that they are giving to certainly Hillary Clinton and the other candidates.”
