Sanders jabs at Clinton's foreign policy credentials following speech (HRC GP)

[Her Sister]

Bernie Sanders took a swipe at Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy credentials on Thursday in the wake of her speech attacking Donald Trump’s proposals.

"I agree with Secretary Clinton that Donald Trump's foreign policy ideas are incredibly reckless and irresponsible,” Sanders said in a statement. “But when it comes to foreign policy, we cannot forget that Secretary Clinton voted for the war in Iraq, the worst foreign policy blunder in modern American history, and that she has been a proponent of regime change, as in Libya, without thinking through the consequences.”
On Thursday, Clinton gave a speech that took Trump to task for his temperament and foreign policy proposals that she believes makes him unfit for the presidency.

“Donald Trump’s ideas aren’t just different; they are dangerously incoherent,” she said. “They aren’t even really ideas, just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds and outright lies.”

Sanders has taken issue with Clinton’s own foreign policy, routinely blasting her for her early Iraq War support and her praise of Henry Kissinger, another former secretary of State.

In his statement on Thursday, Sanders added, "We need a foreign policy based on building coalitions and making certain that the brave American men and women in our military do not get bogged down in perpetual warfare in the Middle East. That's what I will fight for as president."

1. And this is why we can't have nice things.

On the day that the eventual nominee gives a barn burning speech that just tears the republican opponent to shreds, the also-ran immediately tries to undercut for next to no political gain. He's not going to be the nominee. He's not going to win CA in the margin that he needs. This is just a petty shot by someone who is losing and attempting to burn down the Democratic party with him.

Bernie Sanders should not be delivering Trump's response.

7. Sanders' hatred for Clinton is irrational and knows no bounds.

The fact is that a lot of criticisms Clinton leveled at Trump also apply to Sanders. He doesn't have the temperament to be president. What foreign policies will he screw up when he loses his temper?

[skylucy]

12. "And this is why we can't have nice things"-----LOL Love the title of your response! And definitely

agree that Sanders as usual shows his pettiness and stupidity.

[caquillo]

2. Of course, almost on cue, Sanders has to undermine her every which way

What is his endgame? He's just giving Trump ammo.

[puffy socks]

14. Maybe Trump promised to pay off his debts? nt

[geek tragedy]

3. Bernie who? nt

[displacedtexan]

4. Leave it to Bernie to point out the main reasons

that Republicans who hate Trump with a purple passion would vote for Clinton.

And he managed to make himself look small while doing it.

[Satch59]

5. Enough Bernie...

Same old line about the EYErac war vote... Oh I am sending every good vibe Hillary's way for a win in CA...so we can send Bernie back to VT...bye!

[DesertFlower]

8. i'm sending them too, but he's not

going away -- he'll be at the convention demanding to speak.

[Koinos]

6. So, Sanders attacks Clinton after Clinton demolishes Trump.

What a classy guy he is ... not. Time for someone to give him the hook and drag him offstage.

So easy to see the difference between Clinton and Sanders.

[Stuckinthebush]

9. He is pathetic

It is sad to see what he has become

[sarae]

11. It sounds like he won't be happy until Trump is elected President.

[puffy socks]

15. Seems that way

He and some of his supporters won't be happy until they force a scorched earth policy which they apparently believe they will be immune to.

[sarae]

10. Jesus Christ

He just can't help himself, can he?

[otohara]

13. He Thinks 6 Votes For NRA Resulting In Deaths

320,000... here in America since the IWR is not a bad thing cuz guns are made in America.

Same thing when he lobbied for and got trillion dollars to build jets that drop bombs on brown people to be made in Vermont.

He makes me sick.

[wisteria]

16. The Iraq War is Bush's baby, not Clinton's.

He Decided on it and mishandled it. If this is all Sander's has, it is a pretty weak argument against her foreign policy experience. And, I for one am sick of this I war vote being drug out every election.

[livetohike]

17. So Bernie is going to build coalitions. LOL. When has he ever done that?

25 years of whistling in the wind and nobody he works with likes him.

[George II]

24. He can't even get along with his own colleagues in Congress.

[SunSeeker]

18. I'm sure Trump appreciates your help, Bernie. nt

[Her Sister]

19. Such a total DRAG!

Total Downer! Same treatment like what we get from his supporters online!

[Sparkly]

20. I'm starting to think he is a programmed computer.

When he hears keywords, it automatically launches one of his scripts.

"Foreign Policy" => "She voted for the war in Iraq."

"Tax returns" => "We haven't seen the transcripts of her speeches to Wall Street."

Random words => "Millionaires and billionaires" "An economy that works not just for the 1%" "$15 per hour" "Break up the big banks" etc. etc.

[DavidDvorkin]

21. What a self-involved twit he is.

[Happyhippychick]

22. The reason Clinton has made some unpopular foreign policy choices

Is because she has actually MADE foreign policy choices.

[BootinUp]

25. Yes, thats part of it, and untruths being told about her record. nt

[peggysue2]

30. Hahahaha

So true. Easy to be perfect when you've never had the actual experience of making those decisions or done it from the backbench. Personally, I'm getting tired of saying, 'yes, I realize HRC is not perfect.' As if St Bernard is. As if any of us are. To hear Bernie tell it, HRC was the prime mover and shaker with that Iraq vote. Get a grip, Bernie. George W. Bush brought us Iraq and a whole lot more.

Can't wait until Tuesday and this damn primary season is over and out.
.
Btw, thought Hillary found the sweet spot in her speech today. Best one she's given while slicing and dicing The Donald into a thousand tiny pieces. Beautiful thing to watch.

[George II]

23. Unbelievable - the man hasn't established a "foreign policy" yet, but he can criticize her policy?

As usual, it's "we need", "we need", "we need", but not a single word about "I will", "I will", "I will".

[BootinUp]

26. I can't type what I want to dammit. nt

[LuvLoogie]

27. Bernie to Hillary, "I got your back."

[Legends303]

28. I was disapointed when she voted for the Iraq War

but it was the Bush Administration the pressed the button and send millions of soldiers to die. They are trying to act like Clinton pushed the button herself and also Bush had a majority Republican and both houses, he could have gotten us in Iraq either with or without her vote. I read somewhere that she did not directly vote for military use against Iraq, it was for more of a diplomatic approach before using force.

[Walk away]

29. When is Bernie going to stop embarrassing himself???

His followers have, apparently, stopped paying him to do it so maybe he should just stop before there is nothing left of him.
