Bernie scorches Hillary on the Sunday morning shows - what a grouch!

Excerpt:

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders on Sunday questioned rival Hillary Clinton’s temperament for the highest office in the land.

In an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the Vermont senator clarified his criticism of the former secretary of state last week, in which he said she isn’t “qualified” for the White House.

“The point that I was making, which is absolutely correct, is that if you look at where she is getting the money from Wall Street, another powerful special interest, she voted for the war, she cited Henry Kissinger, in a sense, as a model for her,” Sanders said. “I think those issues will tell the American people that in many respects, she may have the experience to be president of the United States. No one can argue that. But in terms of her judgment, something is clearly lacking.”

In a separate interview that aired Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sanders again took a swipe at Clinton and her qualifications as president.

“I have my doubts about what kind of president she would make,” he said.

She admitted that her vote about Iraq was a mistake.
She admitted that that private server was a mistake.
There are many issues were she made "mistakes", even
though she won't admit to those.

How many "mistakes" does it need to get an idea
about her judgement?

Cheney has a lot of experience, but the judgment factor is nil.

I think what Sanders is saying is HRC's judgments have been poor despite her experience. In this it's hard to disagree with Sanders.

Now he can openly say it and support it. After all, it is all about judgement. I don't agree but it does open up the door to dealing with it overtly. Let the media have at it which will let Bernie say it loud and clear.

And in the process, he revealed himself as the one unqualified to lead. A President can't have a thin skin like Bernie Sadners has got.

Walk me through the justification for the IWR vote again: fooled.

Takes money from super pacs: how can you regulate people who give you money?

Health care, abortion and civil rights issues: Not a Leader - A Follower.

And the passive aggressive nonsense - I have a list of 25 insults she and her team have dished out.

Yes, let's talk about Hillary's judgment and LACK OF EXPERIENCE - it's pretty epic.

And then we have the FBI stuff. Do you really think they are going to believe she "accidentally" deleted thousands of government records?

I think her only hope of avoiding indictment is "former First Lady" and a pardon from President Sanders.

Good luck.

for her discredit and disqualify attacks?

A President should not attack without provocation, but who am I kidding, she loves the Bush Pre-emption Doctrine.

CNN reported it from senior Clinton campaign officials. It was then repeated in WaPo the next day.

Then the rat-fuckery increased demonstrating the approach.

I was involved with politics while you were suckling at the teat.

"Different agenda" would be more accurate. Hillary Clinton is simply not on the side of the average citizen. She's on the side of big business.
