Why do most campaign spokepeople lie? I have MSNBC on in the background and thery just had a rep.

from each campaign on. First up was a rep. for Joe. Said a lots of fluff and how they feel Joe will do well tomorrow. Next up was David Sirota(?) for Bernie. He started out OK, talking about a difficult race where Bernie is battling the establishment & the status quo. Then he went into how Joe argued on the Senate floor against SS MANY TIMES, & Joe promises to continue things as they are now. Just replace DT and continue on. He knows that's not true. Why can't they all demonstrate the differences between candidates and try to win the public over to their side, The liesf just turn ME off.

They turn me off too. I want to hear what they can and will do, not just a trashing of their opponent.

could win there by a landslide tomorrow, and the polling in other states voting tomorrow also looks very good.

As for Sirota... Well, I don't want to use the language that comes to mind when I think of Sirota.

Hiring and not firing a liar like Sirota shows very poor judgement on the part of sanders.

They really didn't have to.
It only seems to have accelerated their finish and botched up their own brand.

lied like a malignant brain-sucking rug.

As for why, Sanders' tactics appeal to a lot of people he wants to attract. Simple as that.

(As for why no liberal Democratic campaigns lie as SOP, lies repel most liberal Democrats, even when believed initially they end up backfiring. Hiring Sirota alone might sow enough doubt in Biden's integrity to be death to his campaign. WE don't do Sirotas, which everyone can see just by taking a look at the Biden campaign.)
