Hmmm. Today Hillary Clinton criticized Bernie Sanders: “I am concerned that some of his ideas just won’t work, because the numbers don’t add up.” And this: “I think he himself doesn’t consider himself to be a Democrat.” And this, in response to his widely panned Daily News interview: “I think he hadn’t done his homework, and he’d been talking for more than a year about doing things that he obviously hadn’t really studied or understood.”
That’s a tough attack—though not exactly thermonuclear. Bernie, however, decided that it was time to go to DEFCON 1:
“Not qualified to be president”? I guess it was inevitable. As campaigns wear on, opponents begin to seriously dislike each other. But I sure hope this doesn’t get any nastier.
