David Brock's hardball tactics worry Clinton supporters
 [THEHILL] Key Democratic players are worried that Hillary Clinton... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillaryand at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Walter Q. Gresham... ally David Brock could be hurting her image and hampering her chances of winning the presidency. In interviews over the past month, Clinton donors, fundraisers and operatives have told The Hill that the concerns about Brock's comments, particularly some of his attacks on Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... , stretch all the way to the top of Clinton's political machinery. A leading figure in the Democracy Alliance, the liberal equivalent of the conservative Koch brothers' donor network, said donors he associates with would like to put Brock "back in the can." "I have heard people express concern that what he does could be harmful generally" to the campaign, the donor said. Longtime Clinton fundraiser Bill Brandt, an Illinois-based businessman and personal friend of Bill Clinton ...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of is... , said of Brock, "David is well meaning but I think perhaps like a zealot. He should keep it in check a bit. I don't think this needs to be about tearing Bernie down. ... It's getting nasty and it doesn't need to be." One Brock comment that drew backlash regarded his plans to raise questions about the 74-year-old Sanders's health, seen by many as a low blow at the senator's age and one that left Clinton vulnerable given attempts by conservatives to portray her as being in fragile health.
