Sanders Hits Clinton: ‘Not Just Experience that Matters’; Judgment Matters Too

‘I think we have the judgment in terms of what we should do with ISIS right now, that we should learn the lesson of the Iraq war, which I vigorously opposed’

TODD: "I want to start with some reviews from the debate. First debate on Wall Street you got some good reviews, but on foreign policy, I want to put up some headlines here, sir. Not so good “Boston globe,” Sanders flunks on foreign policy, “The Washington Post,” Bernie Sanders trips up on foreign policy during debate. How do you respond to that?"
SANDERS: "Well, you know, time after time when we have had these debates the pundits keep thinking that Hillary Clinton wins the debates, but somehow the people do not. And we did very well in Iowa. I think we’re doing well in new Hampshire. And I think we’re doing well nationally. Look, there’s no question that Hillary Clinton has a great deal of experience regarding foreign policy. She was our secretary of state for four years. That gives her a lot of experience. But it is not just experience that matters. It is judgment. I think we have the judgment in terms of what we should do with ISIS right now, that we should learn the lesson of the Iraq war, which I vigorously opposed, which means that we cannot, chuck, do it alone. I will do everything that I can to make sure that our young men and women in the military do not get sucked into a perpetual warfare in the quagmire of the Middle East."
