First off, this is Project Veritas, and they're pretty good at what they do and how they release stuff. I'm hoping that after Bernie reacts they'll release another video showing the rot going higher. That said, I'm going to address this based on what we know now.
And that would be different from what has been going on since he got in the race how?
Yeah, kind of my point. Oh wait, are you defending the MSM because you think that is a fair and righteous tactic?
Yes, I think any politician should account for the views that the paid employees of his campaign spout.
That doesn't mean that I automatically assume he holds those same views, but it seems a pretty low bar, given how schools/churches/businesses are usually judged by what their employees say.
You think that if a 21 year old NRA employee started spouting off publicly about how minorities are the problem and we need to put them all in cages, he would not be fired forthwith and his views completely disavowed by the NRA?
Let's take that example, but make it even closer to this situation. The young NRA employee spouted off racist crap but not in public - in private but secretly on camera. He's obviously going to be quickly fired. Would that make all NRA employees racist? Would that make NRA supporters racist? Would that be an indication that the Second Amendment tends to attract racist jerks? Would it be a condemnation of all people who support the causes that the NRA supports? Would that make candidates supported by the NRA racist? Would that make you racist? How far does the taint of a bad personal belief go? Yea unto the seventh generation?
Just looking at people related to his campaign I have no doubt we could find some jerks. Let's say one comes to light and gets fired ... what does that say about Trump? Would you vote for someone else if that were to happen?
From a pragmatic standpoint you guys might be right. Maybe it would be more effective to lie to people and tell them that Bernie wants to put people against the wall and shoot them because that is what this supporter wants. I think more likely you'll convince a few not real bright people, get patted on the back by people who already agree with you, and provide evidence to people who disagree with you that you're dishonest. I've seen so many blatantly dishonest "news" stories that I have trouble putting much faith in most reporting these days. Push too many lies and people are likely to start to see you in the same way.
