Hypocrite Nina Turner, a Sanders surrogate: Attacks on Clinton don't apply to Obama http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/275563-sanders-surrogate-attacks-on-clinton-dont-apply-to-obama #IMWithHER


A top Bernie Sanders surrogate denied that Sanders’s criticisms of Hillary Clinton should extend to Barack Obama despite the fact that many of those concerns could apply to the president.

MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki pressed former Ohio State Sen. Nina Turner on Sanders’s recent claim that Clinton is unqualified to serve as president during a Thursday interview. Kornacki said Sanders’s critiques of Clinton’s super-PAC, Wall Street ties and support of trade deals are all issues where Obama is “just as vulnerable.”

“This has nothing to do with Barack Obama; President Obama is not running for reelection,” Turner said on MSNBC’s “MTP Daily.”
..........

Sanders spent the day defending his remarks, arguing that he would not sit back while Clinton insinuated that he was not qualified to serve as president. ................

1. LOL--of course she's not going to run again.

She's "bernt" too many bridges.

Time to pivot and go into PR, I'd say!

Bill Clinton campaigned for her when she ran for Congress--think she'll get help like that again?

Signs point to HELL NO.


And the White House has indicated, quite specifically, that their take is that Clinton is quite qualified.

I didn't hear them piping up about her opponent, though, after that cheap shot he pulled.

Hey @ninaturner, your boss is campaigning with a guy who called Obama "global George Zimmerman". Have a seat. https://twitter.com/gdebenedetti/status/697995156457459712 …

What is that dog whistling, cause I didn’t hear it. It was Bernie Sanders decision to go down the road of attacking President Obama as if he has been a failure. Sanders knew darn well that the rest of the country is not like Iowa and NH. The President approval rating with blacks is still very high and we do not appreciate Sanders and his supporters acting like this President was a failure. And Sanders said race relations would be better under him, B.S.[/quote]

Bye Nina

5. I guess they have decided they need some of that Obama love.

Too bad...we all remember the slams against him by Sanders, West and others.

6. what?!

Really weird way to deflect that, Nina. No, it's actually worse. President Obama isn't running for re-election; he actually IS president. A president who is now, according to Bernie Sanders "unqualified." smh

7. She sounded ridiculous and awkward

I felt she knew she was spinning a tough one because she did not sound all that convinced of what she was saying herself, but it is her job to spin and defend Sanders.
I would not want to be in her shoes, but she did choose them, and gets paid well to wear them.

8. Nina Turner = worst surrogate, ever.

And that's saying a lot when you've got Jeff Weaver, Susan Sarandon & Tim Robbins as surrogates.

9. When she started receiving media exposure running for SOS in Ohio

I thought her persona was too much. She doesn't know when to have a softer touch. Has been a total turnoff.
