if he's surrounded by so many "Yes" people that his perception of reality is seriously distorted. Does he think that no one out there actually supports Clinton? I've heard Sanders supporters argue that no one actually prefers Clinton, they just vote for her because they think she's electable. Maybe he thinks going negative on her will work...he's in for a surprise, if that's the case.

Because he claims she said he's not qualified (and she didn't says Rachel), he's now saying she isn't...because of she takes money from super pacs, Wall Street and voted for the Iraq war... Just adding a sentence in front of his usual stump speech scpeil...

Can not wait for the debate...

It HAS been my belief for some time his campaign molds its responses from monitoring Internet social media trends, because those responses are usually just that superficial. I am on permanent WTF eyerolls when I hear anything from his campaign these days.

1) Noun verb Wall Street

2) Noun verb Hillary's IWR vote

3) Noun verb Hillary's SuperPACs

That's all. No substance to him whatsoever. He would be a disaster as President, an absolute disaster.

Out of five candidates still in the race, Hillary is the ONLY one who IS qualified to be President. THE ONLY ONE.

That is now clear beyond all doubt.

Technically, he can claim he did not say she "IS" unqualified. He had the word "if" in each of those clauses.

But we all know exactly what he meant.

He lost his composure. Not very presidential. I fear a president who can't manage his anger. Obama is the epitome of self-control and composure.

Come to think of it, Sanders' whole campaign needs anger management counseling.

It's controlled by Wall Street bribery.

It thought the Iraq war was a great idea.

It's all "establishment" and it's been in Washington for too long. Oh wait...

I guess the brief flirtation with power has corrupted what was before, I believe, a reasonable man. He is no longer reasonable. He has become an asshole.
