125. He can't kick her butt. He'd had to run into the sniper fire to get close enough to do it.

Look, I like Hillary and will vote for her in the general election, but please, stop pretending like Bernie said anything wrong here. He didn't. You know it. And entertaining this silliness should be beneath you.
