Related: About this forumSanders thanks Bill Clinton for 'being my psychoanalyst'
Bernie Sanders on Friday offered Bill Clinton a sarcastic thanks for his "psychoanalyst" work after the former president suggested attacks on his wife's White House qualifications were attributable to "subconscious" double standards.
"I appreciate Bill Clinton being my psychoanalyst," Sanders told CNN's Jake Tapper during an interview for "State of the Union." "It's always nice, but the reality is that ever since Wisconsin, when that became the sixth out of seven states that we have won in either caucuses or primaries, I think the Clinton campaign has made it public, basically, they have told the media that here in New York, they're about to become very negative, about to beat us up."
Questioned by a reporter earlier in the day if "gender was a factor" in the debate over whether Clinton is qualified to be commander in chief, the 42nd president said, "Yes, I think there are some different standards. Some of them are subconscious."
Sanders has insisted that Clinton instigated the ongoing fight, and that he was only defending himself when he cited her 2002 Iraq war vote and willingness to accept super PAC support as evidence she isn't "qualified" to be president.

Subconscious? Like Bill's passive-aggressive sabotaging of his wife's 2008 campaign?

Last thing his personality type can handle is if his wife should exceed his accomplishments.
It's deja vu from 2008 - Bill's repeated, foot-in-mouth moments in the current campaign. Keep on talkin' Bill - you just keep depressing her numbers day by day.
