Donald Trump and his taxes, a current focus of the Clinton campaign
Hillary Clinton has been practically ignoring Bernie Sanders for a month. She hasn’t been attacking Sanders over his scorched-earth efforts to tear down the Democratic Party from within. Clinton hasn’t even been calling on Sanders to release multiple prior years of tax returns, which any serious presidential candidate must do. Instead, because the delegate math now makes her the unstoppable 2016 Democratic Party presidential nominee, Clinton has turned her attention to the general election and her likely opponent, Donald Trump. Yesterday, I decided to follow Hillary Clinton’s lead and attempt to just move on from the battles with Bernie to focus on Trump & the general election. I have to say, it’s very refreshing.
It’s amazing what a simple shift in thinking can do. Now, all the cynical, destructive skirmishes being fought by the Sanders campaign, which just a couple of days ago were causing me to breathe hard and lose sleep, seem like little Tom and Jerry cartoons. Just this morning, a friend contacted me to complain about some latest effort by the Sanders campaign to move the goalposts yet again (I think it was their last-ditch effort to extend the California voter registration to election day). I told my friend that I had moved on to general election mode.
I’m going to do my best to ignore Sanders vs. Clinton from here on out. There are much bigger battles now to fight, and whoever isn’t going to be there for these battles to come, probably was never going to be there anyway.
