Bernie Sanders: 'Of Course' Hillary Clinton Is Qualified To Be President

The Vermont Senator then replied, "Here's the truth. I've known Hillary Clinton for 25 years. I respect Hillary Clinton. We were colleagues in the Senate and on her worst day, she would be an infinitely better president than either of the Republican candidates."

Guthrie then pressed him, "She's qualified?"

And Sanders said, "Of course. But the point is, I would hope that we get away from these attacks, which by the way the media likes very much and start focusing, maybe we can do that today on the real issues that impact the America people."

Let's hope this puts an end to this back and forth so we can focus on the issues and beating the horrific Republicans.

he trailed off in the middle, he was simply trying to make a point, score a run, so to speak.

Not unlike "the scream" or examples I am sure exist for Hillary, it can and will be used to harm the Democratic candidate in the end. Even if it is Bernie, either way it will hurt.

A little, maybe.
