Sanders calls Clinton "unqualified" megathread

[Ebowed]

Hillary Clinton is clearly unqualified to be President.  Blaming Sanders for the Sandy Hook deaths when she has supported an endless stream of war is reprehensible.

She should be ashamed, indeed, she should drop out ASAP.

Are you serious Ebowed?

Do I think the leading candidate should drop out? No, but I did think it appropriate / amusing to offer some counterbalance to some of the trolling here.

Hillary Clinton is a 'moderate' who 'accomplishes' things - supporting a left-wing candidate is foolish!

Wait, unless it's guns.

This is probably why Sanders outpolls Clinton in every general election match-up, over and over and over - rural voters are less worried that Sanders will take away their guns.

Personally, I don't see much point in quibbling about manufacturer liability, but neither campaign goes far enough on this.  The 2nd amendment should be repealed.  That's a no brainer.

Sanders performs better because he has gotten a relatively free ride when it comes to negativity from the media.

Same thing for Kaisch.

Wrong.  The "omg socialist" attacks don't work anymore - the right-wing media has been calling the Democrats socialists for decades, and the scaremongering has lost its effectiveness.  People recognize that being a socialist is a liability and that Sanders doesn't shy away from it.  That just doubles down on the widespread perception that he is authentic - a key contrast with Clinton.

Kasich is the worst candidate, out of him, Cruz and Trump, for the Democrats to face in November.  Thankfully, there is no way he can win the nomination in his own right - so there's nothing to worry about.

Honestly, Hillary Clinton is out of her depth.  I remember her Nevada victory speech included a reference to wealth inequality, saying it doesn't matter how low you go in America, what matters is that you get back up!!  That's a complete misunderstanding of systemic poverty - a symptom of policies that she supports - and the fact that she doesn't seem to understand why this has become an issue only exacerbates how little she relates to the average person.

Hillary Clinton has spent the last several months flabbergasted that she would even have to fight for this nomination.

She has repeatedly demonstrated poor judgement, not just politically in supporting perpetual war, citizen surveillance, and mass incarceration, but seems to not understand why people would be skeptical of how she has made a fortune from being a political celebrity.

Again, it's not what's in the speeches- although a transcript would be great- it's that she doesn't seem to see what's wrong with accepting $225,000 for a speech in the first place.

Out of touch.  Out of her depth.  Completely unqualified.

Stop baiting jfern and progressivecanadian.

I believe every word of that post.

That's right, DFB.  The hacks have been insinuating that every Sanders supporter is a youthful, unrealistic conspiracy theorist with no conception of how the world really works.

But in actuality, millions of people are supporting Bernie Sanders because they see exactly how the world really works and it's pretty damn obvious that Hillary Clinton is emblematic of this problem.  She is no antidote.  The pearl clutchers have gotten increasingly desperate, they can't seem to figure out if Sanders is a crazy right-winger in love with the NRA or if he's going to make us all line up for bread.  Well, that's cute.  When you stand for nothing, you fall very easily.  Hillary Clinton is a disaster and she very well could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory this November.  How dare she act incredulous at having to answer for taking funding from the gun lobby, for taking funding from fossil fuel lobbyists, for taking millions of dollars from Wall Street vultures.  She is an absolute disgrace.  She should own up to the fact that she is a crony and run with her support for Reaganomics. 

Enough with the lies.

We're so sick of them.

She clearly doesnt have the time to look at every single donor and determine who gets what kind of kickback.. they'd be mutually exclusive 90% of the time!

If only Hillary Clinton agreed with you - I assume there was a good reason she stopped taking donations from private prisons.

Yes, the critique of political funding applies to other Democrats.  Hillary Clinton represents a particularly egregious case because she has repeatedly used her influence and clout to improve her wealth.  Let me break it down this way - the only way you get paid $225,000 for a flimsy, content-free speech is by being incredibly wealthy to begin with.  But to say that Clinton would not be able to compete without money from gun, oil and gas lobbyists is ludicrous.  There happens to be a candidate who relies on small donations - if he can do it, why can't she?
