HRC won. Most likely she'd have won if NONE of those things had been done.

I support her in the fall.

But there needs to be an admission that unnecessarily ugly and harsh methods were sometimes used.

It's not reasonable to just say "get over it, losers". That's the way Trump does things. It doesn't work when WE do it.
