“Taken” ... great film, love Liam Neeson etc, there's a scene in that movie that has stayed with me, it echoes in a back room of my brain all. the. time. and tends to get a little louder whenever the mechanisms of The Machine appear to be more overwhelming than usual.

CNN's reporter covering the Clinton campaign just reported that the campaign intends to go full negative on Sen. Sanders regarding his "gun record."

A couple problems I see with this strategy:

I am a Bernie Sanders supporter, but I have tried very hard not to criticize Hillary Clinton during this primary campaign. If she wins the nomination, she will need my support, and if she doesn't, Bernie will need hers.
