"the more she and her hired thugs do this, the more it alienates the Democratic base"
Yes, after all, she's only managed to collect half the vote, almost the exact number of voters as Obama. Just look at all that alienation! At some point, Obama people are going to have to face the reality that whether or not he becomes the nominee, almost as many people will have voted for Hillary as for him, against him as for him. And if one considers declared democrats, it may not even be "almost" as many, but it may be more voted for Hillary. So to put a twist on this silly line quoted above: the more Obama supporters dismiss the 50 percent of democrats that voted for Hillary as non-existent, the more they alienate half the democratic base that Obama needs. Hardly a "unifying" stance.
