Evening Live Blog For Hillary Supporters!
Last night was somewhat surreal. When Rachel Maddow first reported last night, that Sanders said at his rally in PA., Hillary Clinton was not qualified to be president, then listed many reasons why. This was in response to the Morning Joe interview. I watched Hillary's Morning Joe interview, Never once heard her say he was unqualified or imply that he was. Sanders incorrectly quoted what Clinton said. Why? Because she never said it. Clinton, when asked about how he answered questions in his NYDailyNews interview; did question if he had done his homework, because he couldn’t answer a question about one of his most important issues.
Sanders has been going negative for months; implying that Hillary is fundamentally dishonest, has bad judgment, and can’t be trusted to do what she says. Then yesterday, after a bad interview with the NYDailyNews, and answers the Sandy Hook question terribly, he blows up, jumps the shark. Maybe if Sanders had dug a little deeper in to the Washington Post headline and listened a little harder to the Morning Joe interview, he would have understood what was said. Maybe then, he would not have said Hillary Clinton is not qualified to be President.
At this point Sanders is working against the Democratic Party. Hillary will be the nominee. The Republicans will use tripe like this, to try to discredit Clinton. What Sanders is doing is disappointing, destructive, and needs to stop.
This is how you respond: Clinton
Look, I didn’t — I don’t know why he’s saying that. But I will take Bernie Sanders over Donald Trump or Ted Cruz any time. So let’s keep our eye on what’s really at stake in this election. We have Republicans whose values are so antithetical to what’s right for New York, or what’s right for America. And I’m just going to keep doing what I’ve been doing, with my friends like [Bronx borough president] Ruben [Diaz Jr.] for all these years to try to really make a difference in peoples lives.
With class.
I doubt Super-Delegates will switch over to Sanders after this.
