Agreed, Zatoichi, this was a pretty scuzzy trick and harks back to the R legacy of Nixon's dirty tricks campaign.

But speaking to my fellow Ds, I'd say we need to check up on our own behavior first.  If Hillary Clinton loses this race it will largely be because of her reputation for lousy ethics, as with her private email server, and the money going to the Clinton Foundation looking too much like pay to play influence peddling.   
  And then we even had internal cheating  in the D party leadership involving both Wasserman -Schultz and Donna Brazile.  And who can forget Anthony Weiner?
Recently our own honored long term D governor John Kitzhaber  was forced to resign thanks  to his own influence peddling  scandal involving his "first-lady" girl  friend.

Yes,  we Ds need to clean up our own act.  I'd suggest the D Party should create ethics committees at the county, state and national level to insure our politicians stay within moral bounds in their lust for power, fame and money.
