Those are insincere and weasel words, and I see that is how Hillary is going to be "sold" to us.

Not buying. And he looks very subdued.

But then, what does anyone expect him to say? He can't say one is better than the other. Or anything controversial (which includes not saying anything). So he has to put his milquetoast diplomat face on.

Edit: Bernie does this too, when talking to the press about HRH (which Camp Hubris of course takes as complete sincerity).

Either someone talked to him or he caught it himself.

Sometimes he is so clearly pro clinton it can be hard to watch. I know he is very pro clinton. So, while I am very glad he has been president, I am ready for him to stop commenting. I am against fracking and against war and that pretty much puts me in a different corner this time.
