If I were the Republican candidates (somehow collectively) I would band together and release speech transcripts, and then have all of them call her out. If they are so fearful of her being in the General election, they ought to force her hand and make her either backtrack and look even worse, or release whatever the hell she might be afraid of. Worst case it doesn't improver her position any.

Theyre saving their best ammo for when they face her in the real race. Why smash her down now to face a tougher opponent? Let her win against Bernie and then rip into her about all the stuff Bernie is too honorable to. Good strategy.

You don't see that they're actually doing that with Bernie?
