Sander's serious case of gender affluenza. * Hillary GROUP *

Senator Sander's deteriorating campaign rhetoric is becoming an issue. If Hillary gave the interview that Sander's gave to NYDN, she would have been laughed out of the building. A woman would have NEVER gotten away with those responses, or lack of.

I find it insulting that a socialist septuagenarian from one of the smallest (lily white) states in the nation can make radical campaign promises only to be rarely held to question for how he would actually achieve these delusions of grandeur. Then in front of a camera, claim that the most qualified person (whom happens to be a woman) to ever run for president is not qualified??? Twilight Zone much?

Hillary, if anything is overqualified and she's achieved that over-qualification in a mans world, in Bernie's world. Hillary would never be allowed to get away with how Sander's is conducting himself. He's running for the democratic nomination and he's not even raising money for other democrats??? What realty are we actually in?

I'm truly surprised that Senator Sander's is not better at math, because he's one helluva divider.

There needs to be serious blowback for him saying "she's not qualified to be President.. " when in fact he just displayed to the world via the NYDN interview that he's unqualified to be president.

He did it all to himself.

Mahalo Gary, excellent rant!

Failure to admit he was wrong is showing Sanders as not a truthful. He either needs to get on the Democratic ticket or get out.

I think most Americans know he was talking about gender when he made that statement. Also, He is the one who started to insult Democrats, he is the one who made it a point to say he wasn't one...
