Sanders (about HRC): “I happen to respect the secretary very much..."

[oberliner]

“I have said many times, you know, sometimes in these campaigns, things get a little bit out of hand,” Sanders said during the most recent debate. “I happen to respect the secretary very much, I hope it’s mutual. And on our worst days, I think it is fair to say we are 100 times better than any Republican candidate.”

Also:

As has been noted elsewhere (including by us), when Sanders and Clinton were both there and were both voting, they generally concurred with one another. According to data from Govtrack, the two voted the same way on legislation about 93 percent of the time.

Hillary and Bernie respect one another and agree with each other substantially.

Important to remember the differences between Bernie and Hillary are minuscule compared to the stark difference between our side and the Republicans.

1. He has said he respects her many times.

Is he clueless? Low-information?

Is he lying?

Or is he saying he respects her because he does, and she's worthy of that respect?

5. Exactly

They have mutual respect and admiration for one another - for good reason.

2. I disagree with Sanders...

They are both a million times better than any Republican candidate.

If any of these Republicans win the general, America will be destroyed. It will be hard to recover.

must hope for the best, but start planning for the worst.

Monkeys and humans share 93 percent of their DNA...

Are you suggesting we have more in common with our simian brothers and sisters than we care to believe?

13. Yes. And each would endorse the other, once a nominee is known.

The vehemence of the discussions disguises that simple fact. We may live to regret that very much, I fear.
