Bernie Sanders picks a dangerous New York fight with Hillary Clinton



April 7 at 3:32 PM


...................And so the 2016 presidential contest is taking over New York, a city and a state where politics is played with brass knuckles and brickbats. The press is relentless. The pressure is intense. And on a scale of 1 to 10, the likelihood of a candidate slipping up or overreacting is about a 14.

Case in point: Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt.) over-the-top, Donald Trumpian assertion that Hillary Clinton is not qualified to be president.

It all goes back to an interview Clinton did with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Wednesday. Right out of the gate, co-anchor Joe Scarborough tried several times to get the former two-term senator from New York to say that Sanders was not qualified to be president. He failed. .........................


Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell that The Post headline that kicked off this Big Apple brawl was right. Never mind that The Post’s Fact Checker just gave the Sanders claim three Pinocchios. “I went to law school just like the secretary and you get a lot of training on how to say things without actually saying them,” Weaver said. “She was asked head-on if she thought he was qualified to be president and what did she say, ‘Well, that’s for the voters to decide.’ So, you know, they’re playing a sort of very cute game in terms of language….”

If that’s the case, then Sanders and his crew are playing a dangerous game in terms of the general election. Tensions between supporters of the two candidates have been high for quite some time. Even Susan Sarandon questioned whether Sanders supporters could bring themselves to vote for Clinton.


At every opportunity, Clinton has praised the senator, his passion and his supporters. “I don’t know why he’s saying that,” Clinton said outside Yankee Stadium before hopping the subway in the Bronx on Thursday, “but I will take Bernie Sanders over Donald Trump or Ted Cruz anytime.” She knows that she needs him and his supporters’ votes if she’s the nominee. Thanks to his Trump-like overreaction, Sanders now cannot say the same.

1. Most Sanders supporters....

question their ability to vote for Hillary.

Trust me, it wouldn't be easy. To cast a vote I know will result in the death of Americans shouldn't be easy.

2. "At every opportunity, Clinton has praised the senator, his passion and his supporters."

Not True......she is devious and implies unqualified, not ready, extreme, etc. all the time re: Bernie Sanders...she is sly and yet cunning and her shills are doing much of it for her...but she is the one backing these attacks on Bernie.

3. He actually said it, Hillary implied it all election. We're not idiots. Take a look at 2008 again.

And quite frankly She isn't qualified. She votes the wrong way the first time, every time.
She's a follower, not a leader.

And she took Bernie's kindness for weaknesses.
