Sanders: Clinton On Her Worst Day Is An 'Infinitely Better Candidate' Than Any GOPer

On “ABC This Week,” Bernie was asked if he thought his agreements with Clinton outweighed his disagreements.

"Well, that’s -- well, the answer is yes and no," Sanders responded. "Yes, we do agree on a number of issues, and by the way, on her worst day, Hillary Clinton will be an infinitely better candidate and President than the Republican candidate on his best day."

"But having said that, we have very significant differences and the key difference is I see a nation in which we have a grotesque level of income and wealth inequality,"

I just thought this is a reasonable summary by the candidate himself of the limits of the differences between he and Hillary.

There are a few others in that thread, imo.

BTW, I'm a Bernie supporter, and I agree with Bernie on this.

sick of it. I would like Hillary supporters to grasp the truth that this is the second time he has assisted your candidate. TWICE.
I am sure you will mud this up too. Consider the first post to this thread.

Now how about the differences with the religious zealots and, sorry to say, plain brainwashed dumbasses being pandered to by the GOP, especially of course, in Iowa and NH?

Like this kind of truth and attention?

just not in quite that simply and eloquently. You have to have open ears and minds to hear it though. I think this time there is not a way to change his meaning but it is early, we will see.
