So much for the over used BS standby that the media is ignoring the Sanders campaign.

Sorry... you don't get to have only the news that makes you look good reported.
This is MAJOR news!
Yeah, This isn't going away. Welcome to reality Senator Sanders!
UPDATE: Sanders has walked back his statement. Suddenly he thinks Clinton IS qualified to be president. I wonder who got toilet cleaning duty in his office for suggesting that line of attack?

Sen. Bernie Sanders went beyond the pale this week by saying outright he did not think former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was qualified to be president.
His reason? He took a CNN report that the Clinton campaign was going to go hard against him and used that to incorrectly assert that Clinton was stating that Sanders is not qualified to be president. Let's be very clear: Hillary Clinton has never said any such thing. But now Sanders has gone there. But he quickly realized that this was neither a smart nor a strategically effective move for him as he tried to, kinda, sorta, walk the comment back. But he needs to do more, and so does his staff, who have doubled down on his original comments. They should completely retract their unfortunate comments and here's why.
For starters, the argument makes no sense. No matter what you think of her, no one believes that a former successful attorney in her own right, a former first lady of both Arkansas and of the United States, a former two-term senator from the great state of New York and a former successful and highly popular secretary of state is not qualified to be president. Even some of Sanders' supporters have been turned off by this over-the-line comment.

But this week, he hit below the belt, got personal and got nasty. Not even in the most intense days of the campaign between then-Senators Clinton and Barack Obama did either of them say the other was not qualified to be president.

Wow! thank you, otohara~
Better to walk it back now then to have to desperately run it back later.
