Sanders did not say Hillary was unquallified...

Let's apply the Clinton standard to his words: He said "if she is...taking tens of millions of dollars...if you (See nothing about Hillary here) get 15 million doalrs from Wall Street...if you have voted for a disastrous war in Iraq." See: he didn't say she had done any of those things, he just said *if* she had that would disquallify her. He left for the audience to decide whether she had actually done them <sarcasm>.


“Now the other day, I think, Secretary Clinton appeared to be getting a little bit nervous, and she has been saying lately that she thinks that I am, quote-unquote not qualified to be president,” Sanders told the crowd at Temple University. “Well let me just say in response to Secretary Clinton, I don’t believe that she is qualified if she is — through her Super PAC — taking tens of millions of dollars in special interest funds. I don’t think that you are qualified if you get 15 million dollars from Wall Street through your Super PAC. I don’t think you are qualified if you have voted for the disastrous war in Iraq. I don’t think you are qualified if you’ve supported virtually every disastrous trade agreement, which has cost us millions of decent paying jobs.”

But no, they fall for it every time.

Clue burner Team Clinton, this ain't his first rodeo. Plus, he thought long and hard about this and plan carefully.

Bernie was given many invitations to go after Hillary on her emails and did not do it. The only reason Hillary is attacking Bernie now is because his campaign won't go away and he has become a legitimate threat.

Hillary and her campaign have been trying to pretend that Bernie pointing out differences in their records and in their positions on important issues constitute "personal attacks", which is complete bullshit.

If they want to play dirty, there is a never ending supply of material to tar Hillary with, versus the manufactured garbage like Sandy Hook that Hillary is having to resort to attack Bernie. Bernie is telling them if they want to go down that road, that's their choice.
