You keep complaining about "all-out attacks" over and over again. She was well received and congratulated after she won on June 26. But the "all-out attacks" (an exaggeration) began mounting a few days after her primary ONLY when she attacked Joe Crowley, falsely claiming he was "mounting a third-party candidacy" against her, then proceeded to attack the decorated war hero (who lost 2-1/2 limbs in battle) Senator Tammy Duckworth, then moved on to Kirsten Gilibrand - all within days of her June 26 victory. And on and on. Seems you don't see those, only the reactions to such attacks.
Now she's attacking the Democratic Party in general, saying our leaders are "too old" and hoping for LOW turnout in Michigan, which is contrary to the very premise of the Democratic Party. We see around here that some want the Democratic Party to be a "big tent" party, but to some that's fine as long as that tent isn't too full.
What she's receiving by many (not just here) is not "craven", it's precisely what you defend about her. I'm sorry you don't see that.
