talking point that she could get more practical things done as a core contest position from which other arguments could flow- as well as the electability stability meme. Actually pretty high road subtlety matched by Sanders politeness. She rarely answers a question too directly anyway as people have noticed. A political skill that should not be too painfully obvious. Sanders in the same position would have slapped down this baiting tactic easily. It never would have come up because in terms of experience he actually is obviously competitive and superior on this issue and if he properly turned against the GOP clown car it would have shut down the entire interview from further notice.

So maybe Hillary was clever in not shutting down the baiting term "unqualified" it doesn't really matter. Hard to tell. This is definitely all media fluff all the time against Sanders.

And, what is good for the goose is apparently NOT good for the gander.

That's a bit sexists, too.
