Bernie needs to apologize

[runaway hero]

That was uncalled for, and it was rude. Hillary is the most qualified person to be president.

This will hurt him with women voters.

[KingFlorez]

1. I disagree

He said it and he should reaffirm it. No need to mince words.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Hillary needs to apologize.

[runaway hero]

5. She didn't say that.

This is a crappy thing to say.

[bkkyosemite]

11. Her smug laugh today was disgusting and devious and just plain classless.

[runaway hero]

27. I know.

But as a man you have to be above some things. This is one of them.

[pangaia]

32. WHAT THE FUCK???????

[Marr]

34. Wut.

You're saying it's ok for Hillary to argue that Sanders is unqualified, but improper for him to do the same in return, because... genitals?

Jesus Christ, I think you just broke the gender card.

[runaway hero]

39. Not only because of that

The imagery is bad. He's saying a woman is unqualified to be president based on a statement which was not said by her. It will look bad tomorrow.

[Marr]

43. Hillary's the one who will look bad, when her campaign keeps crying victim after arguing

that Sanders is unqualified.

It makes them look weak and dishonest and worse, whiny.

[runaway hero]

52. I can see that

But the casual women voter can't.

[840high]

67. What???

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. Her communications bot said it for her.

And she lies about Bernie almost every time she opens her mouth - just like she lied and dog-whistled about Obama in 2008.

[runaway hero]

18. He'll come off as a bully.

Will women like that? The media will portray him as the bully Bernie picking on a woman.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. I'm a woman.

We women are quite capable of thinking for ourselves, and a whole lot of us don't care for Hillary for a lot of reasons. Will she now act the poor, weak woman being victimized by a bully? She'll lose more women that way.

[runaway hero]

25. Understood.

But in general, it will look bad to the average woman voter. At least that's what I think.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. Politics ain't beanbag.

Hillary needs to put on her big girl pantsuit and stop acting like she's a delicate flower being picked on by some mean man. She pulled the same shit in 2008. It was obnoxious then and it still is.

[runaway hero]

63. We'll see

Guess I'm just a little shocked.

[ViseGrip]

17. It's a crappy record that she has, and it's fair to point out her RECORD!

It's awful to me, and that does disqualify her, and since she brought it up it's a great time to DEBATE IT. This IS a contest.

[runaway hero]

26. But

She has been a Senator, Sec of State, etc. She's the most qualified right now.

[pangaia]

35. Bull shit. She's a walking disaster.

[Marr]

38. She's ready to take that 2AM call from Goldman Sachs. /nt

[runaway hero]

54. I think that's harsh

She's accomplished a lot.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

59. Call the waaahmbulance.

So she's accomplished a lot. BFD. So has Bernie. She started it in the first place by calling him unqualified; evidently part of her new scorched-earth policy. If you say Bernie is being rude and harsh, what about when Hillary does the same damn thing? It's politics. Gotta have a thick skin and be able to take a few hits instead of whining when someone throws your shit back at you.

[pangaia]

60. It's the truth.

She is a corporatist and that is the crowd she runs with.
Nsomi Klein nails her to the wall on her disgustingredients behavior.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

48. She has a respectable resume. So did this guy:

Lawyer in private practice, elected to the Pennsylvania legislature, then to the U.S. House; chairman of the Judiciary Committee, appointed ambassador to Russia; elected to the U.S. Senate and reelected twice; appointed Secretary of State; then ambassador to Britain; finally President of the United States.

The owner of that awesome resume was James Buchanan, generally considered to have been one of the two or three worst presidents.

He was succeeded by a guy who had been a small-town postmaster and surveyor; served four terms in the Illinois legislature and one term in the U.S. House; practiced law for another 12 years, then was elected President.

That was Abraham Lincoln.

[runaway hero]

53. fair enough

I still think he should not have been so harsh.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

55. She dished it out; she'd better be ready to take it.

[2pooped2pop]

61. she also weathervanes between "I am woma

"I am woman, hear me roar," and "dont pick on me, I'm just a poor little woman."

Which ever suits her needs at the time.

[runaway hero]

64. She should.

but saying she's unqualified?

[polichick]

3. I'm a woman - HRC is not qualified because she's a corporate servant.

[bkkyosemite]

4. Disagree! Hillary has said the most terrible things about Bernie. Every debate she lies

about him. She is trying to turn it 180 but she is to blame because she is the one stirring the pot.

[dogman]

6. Sure cuz all women get millions from Wall Street.

I'm sure they all identify with that.

[ThePhilosopher04]

7. Apologize for what? Hillary is a big girl and a "pant suit aficionado" according to her twitter

if she can dish it, she needs to learn to take it.

[azmom]

8. Not really. Women don't think

She has the judgment required for the presidency. That disqualifies her.

[Autumn Colors]

9. It was in response to HER rudeness

No apology from Bernie necessary. He didn't instigate this "round". His statement and all the backlash she's getting on social media is her own doing.

PS: It hasn't hurt him with me ... an over-50 woman who's been a Democratic voter since age 18. If anything, I'm glad to see him finally calling her out directly on her record. I don't think she's qualified to be President based on her previous track record regarding her judgment.

[Punkingal]

10. Yeah, well screw that idea.

She is not the most qualified person to be President, Bernie is.

[HassleCat]

12. She can make the important decisions.

She agreed we should go to war with Iraq, and that turned out to be an important decision. We need a president like Hillary, someone who can go along to get along, someone not afraid to kill people, someone who thinks inside the box.

[daleanime]

23. Ouch, remind me....

to try to never tick you off.

[HassleCat]

44. I'm not ticked off yet

But I am getting tired of the passive-aggressive tactics of the Clinton campaign. Their latest thing is to criticize Sanders, then get all victimized when there is a response. "We never said he was unfit to be president. We only said he didn't think about things and had no plans. How can the Bernie campaign tell such awful, horrible lies about us?" See how well this works against Trump or Cruz. If Clinton wants voters to believe she has been everywhere, done everything, withstood all the criticism, etc. she might want to stop this stuff about, "Oh, help! Help! He's being mean to me. Someone make him stop!"

[The Midway Rebel]

13. Do you speak for all women voters?

If so, could you possibly speak TO the women voting GOP. They really need your guidance.

[ViseGrip]

15. She is the one who went to full press that she will discredit and disquality him.

Why is it okay for her...but if he gives it back and with REASONS, like Iraq War vote, trade bills, etc. it will hurt him with women? He needs to apologize? Stunning. Hillary started it, and if she can't take that, she should get out. Maybe the pressure of being under investigation is getting to her, and I surely could understand that.

Maybe she shouldn't be running and taking ALL OF US along with her on that ride??????????????? For the good of the country....blah blah...

[nc4bo]

16. Ok is she tough or a delicate flower? Politics is tough whether male or female. Either you can deal

With or you can't but you can not have it both ways.

Don't lob manure, hurry to put on your Sunday best then turn around and complain someone soiled it.

You chose to play in poo, whatcha expect?!

[Dem2]

19. He can say whatever he wants

If people don't like it, they'll let him know. Same applies for Hillary.

Most of the time pols parse words to make an argument against a candidate, other times the candidate goes a little overboard - this late in the race we're going to see more of the latter. Who cares. Ballots will determine if people like said "overboard".

[daleanime]

20. No, he doesn't....

no she's not.

[desmiller]

21. Hillary has more to apologize for than Sanders.

Berners: If you're reading this, please follow my lead and "naughty list" him.

[MrMickeysMom]

24. I mean, REALLY... What is this?

If candidates are going to be equal (and I know from experience, they are), then they shouldn't have their little minions come to their rescue whenever it is "felt" (e.g., the media announces) that somehow they have insulted each other.

I find this ludicrous and if anyone needs to apologize, it is the political parties themselves for causing the kind of candidates to emerge who use the media. What a fucking circus this is becoming.

[notadmblnd]

28. No, no I don't think so.

[Marr]

31. What most qualifies her? Her disastrous run as SoS, or her disastrous run in the Senate? /nt

[sadoldgirl]

33. I would wager a bet, that she will play victim again next!

[bigwillq]

36. No one needs to apologize.

Not Bernie. Not Hillary. This is what happens during a primary.
Look at 2008. It was nasty then, and Hillary accepted a position in Obama's administration. Everyone will be friendly again soon.

[pipoman]

37. LOL....First Presidential election, eh?

She and you better get used to people saying "crappy things"...lol....

She is a liar and has spouted complete lies about Bernie....again, this is a race for POTUS....her character shines through and her thin skin will make her candidacy a historical failure.

[Joe the Revelator]

40. This....this is good.

[oldandhappy]

41. He spoke truth.

I stand with Bernie.

[Politicalboi]

42. The truth hurts

He needs to tell it. Sorry if it shows Hillary in a bad light. She brought herself there.

[smiley]

45. Seriously?

If this hurts your candidates feelings, perhaps she's not quite prepared for the rigors of a general election?

[rufus dog]

46. Agreed

He should have started turning it up earlier so she would be saved the embarrassment of blowing another primary election.

[dana_b]

47. lol... another one...

next!!

[Jarqui]

49. It's on CNN, WaPo - Hillary said Sanders was unqualified and she

was going to disqualify him.

Disqualify Sanders:
http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/06/politics/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-democrats-unity/index.html

Clinton Campaign communication director asserts Sen. Sanders is unqualified for POTUS
http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/06/politics/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-democrats-unity/index.html

Clinton questions whether Sanders is qualified to be president
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/04/06/clinton-questions-whether-sanders-is-qualified-to-be-president/

Hillary threw the first "unqualified" stones. That's an indisputable fact on the public record. She declared she would worry about party unity later - after she disqualified Bernie.

Sanders was responding to her attacks.

[INdemo]

50. Its ok if Hillary declares that Bernie Sanders is disqualified but on no no no

don't ever reference to the fact Hillary is not..
I would say Hillary could start apologizing to Bernie about comments made to the Greenpeace Rep.about her Fossil Fuel Industry contributions..Hillary lied and then tried to say Bernie lied..Yes Hillary could start there..Then Hillary could apologize for being a part of the Welfare reform that caused children to go hungry..And this would be just a start..we could throw in the Iraqi war vote if you'd like....
Don't you think?

[onecaliberal]

51. Another troll for the ignore bin

If she can't handle Bernie she needs to get out of the race. She's a pathological liar

[runaway hero]

57. Seriously?

Tell me, how will this play tomorrow?

[litlbilly]

56. so, do you guys get an email of the new memes of the day? do you know how pathetic you are?

don't bother responding because you are now on ignore.

[jfern]

58. If Hillary apologizes too

[John Poet]

62. Hillary is most-qualified as a war criminal wannabe.

I can't argue with that.

[runaway hero]

68. harsh man.

[JPnoodleman]

65. No, Clinton cried Havoc, no slips the dogs of war. n/t

[TheFarS1de]

66. Nope .

HC can own this like the adult she proclaims to be . Those who live in glasshouse's .....
