Well, without having to go into detail, a lot of the most out-there stuff has been from his campaign manager, and from independent supporters. If I suggested that it is somehow coordinated, then I did not make myself clear. Neither candidate can fully control their supporters, though Hillary does run a tighter ship. The kerfluffle with Sanders’ staff abusing the DNC network access was not due to a command from the top, but due to overeagerness by some on the staff (which comes naturally when you think of your team as the underdog).
Both candidates would drive Republicans wild with fury, and both will face withering attacks. Hillary is used to it, she’s got the scars to prove it, and would be good in carrying on Obama’s strategy of not offering an opening. Oh, and she is good at smacking them right back, which only makes them madder. Sanders is less of a known, but his “zero fucks to give” attitude may more likely help him than hurt.
