I think it is very unprofessional of Sanders to dismiss Hillary like he did. They were yuking it up. Shame on them for their rudeness.

This Is Getting Real Old, Sanders
Posted by Melissa McEwan at Thursday, March 24, 2016
Yesterday, Bernie Sanders sat down for an interview with The Young Turks, and once again proved my point that he's running against the Democrats as a Democrat. Following are just two clips from the interview; more are available here.
First up, Sanders responds to a question about whether he'd put Hillary Clinton in his cabinet:
Interviewer Cenk Uygur: If you win, is Hillary Clinton liberal enough to be in your cabinet?
Senator Bernie Sanders: Oh stop. Stop getting me in trouble here! [Uyger laughs] There are other people that I would probably go to before Hillarypeople like Elizabeth Warren, for example.
What I love (ahem) about this response is how it functions as two jabs in one: One at Clinton for not being good enough for his cabinet, and one at Obama for thinking she was good enough to serve in his cabinet.
Next up, Sanders responds to a question about whether Sanders will ask his supporters to support Hillary Clinton if she's the nominee:
Uygur: Now, a lot of people in thein the movement have decided that you are their leader, partly because you're running for president, but, you know, you look at some recent polls of millennials, ah, they have you as by far the most popular politician, but they actually have you as more popular as a person they'd like to meet above Beyoncé, okay? [Sanders belly-laughs] Now that's a hell of a thing, right?
Sanders: Yes!
