Populist Reform of the Democratic Party

ummm, no.

The point of this OP is that criticism
of policies is being misrepresented as
"throwing them under the bus"

If every critique is construed as such...
were gonna need a bigger bus!

Whereas, smears, and misrepresentations
are precisely "throwing them under the bus".

I'm aware of three examples of Hillary Clinton
supporters explicitly "throwing Democrats under the bus".
(Each cited above)

That is the point of this OP.

And given the unscrupulous behavior of
some, we can all look forward to similar
attacks and character assassinations
from Hillary supporters.

Time will tell if the 3rd-Way will continue
to denigrate the "Left", as Rahm Emmanuel did...
"F—ing retarded", indeed!
