“Those tactics are not only pissing off Obama supporters, but are pissing off the Democratic party establishment, even if they’re not voicing it now out of respect for Bill’s prominence in the party.”
Wrong. Most of the Democrats who are pissed off and not saying so out loud aren’t doing so out of respect for the Clinton legacy. They’re keeping quiet for the same reason the superdelegates won’t commit early: they’re terrified of the Clinton wrath, which is famously long-memoried, and also famously vindictive. If anyone shows any opposition to her triumphal march to victory, they essentially are writing off any chance to have any part in her administration should she win, now, or *ever*. The Clintons have never valued loyalty to the Democratic Party (never mind the country); loyalty to the two of them has always been the only thing that really mattered. Everyone in the party leadership is just running scared because she’s basically announced that she gets to be the nominee, even if she can’t convince anyone to vote for her.
