18. Yes--don't reward bullies and liars

It drives me nuts when people use the constant unfounded attacks on her to justify supporting her opponents.

That is essentially saying we should reward the liars and bullies, and once we do that, no one is immune. The Noise Machine can just start flinging poo at whomever they don't want to represent Democrats, and even if it can be proven false, we're told we should avoid that candidate because she's damaged. Do we really want to let the RWNM select our candidates?
