Sanders calls Clinton "unqualified" megathread

[Slander and/or Libel]

So, can we all take a breather for one hot second?

He was using harsh (ish) rhetoric to make points about policy and judgment. Taking from his remarks that he was only saying "she's not qualified" isn't really accurate.

I've seen a lot of people leaning hard on the fact that she didn't say the words "he's not qualified" in her interview, and that's true. Insofar as he responded as though she had said that thing, that's wrong. But on the other hand, I've seen countless people aghast at Bernie Sanders having called Clinton "corrupt" and "a liar," and then back down when asked to cite where that happened, saying "Oh, well, his supporters know what he means." This is fair, but only if applied both ways. She may not have said "he's not qualified," but come on now. Let's not be naive.

Elbows are getting thrown both ways. Nobody needs to act like the other side is uniquely at fault in going negative. This is how this works. Suck it up and move forward.

The only naive people here are the people defending Saint Bernie and actually agreeing with him that Hillary Clinton is unqualified to be President. I for one think both are qualified, as is our President, and that Sanders' comments are the result of a desperate campaign that has no hope of winning the nomination.

At the end of the day, Sanders deliberately misquoted her, and used that as a basis for a personal attack against her. I would expect a reinvigorated Clinton campaign out of this (from what I have seen/heard, fundraising has spiked) and that Sanders is going to turn off a lot of people with these grumpy gutter attacks that really are above him.

I think they're both qualified as well. But aside from loading the "qualified" language into it, the attack was on policy and judgment, not personal, right? Unless I'm misunderstanding where people are placing the line between the two.
