Gegarding Twitter and the hillary supporter attacks,
I do not think most of them were Hillary supporters. I suspect there is a boiler room or five at Heritage and on campus of Christian universities with paid trolls. They log on and get an IM containing their targets. Thom became a target when he brought Hillary into question. They are trying to divide and conqueur.
There are also twitterbots as described in the Bloomberg article, How to Hack an Election
Andrés Sepúlveda rigged elections throughout Latin America for almost a decade. He tells his story for the first time.

Judging by the english structure in many of the posts I read, I am convinced they are not from a real person or they are paid trolls in the Philippines.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
I believe that it is a great mistake to not go all out and enthusiastically support Bernie's candidacy. Hillary will be a weak candidate at this time. She will be another Kerry or Gore. A candidate of temperate and "safe" energy. If somehow Kasich should wind up the republican candidate- she and this country and world will lose. She is not a inspirational candidate. She is a total pragmatist. It seems that we Dems are alwys in the suffocaating grip of the DNC- a bunch of money chasing losers. Thom says that she has moved to the left in her many views. But has she? Were she elected, just how faithful will she be to her new releigion? The Dems need a candidate like Bernie who runs on the history he has painted. True to his many beliefs and able to inspire millions of people who have never been involved to become interested and understanding of the significance of this moment.
