Kristin Soltis Anderson: Sanders ‘Undercutting’ Clinton’s ‘Electability Argument’
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BRZEZINSKI: "Wow."
GEIST: " It’s clear when you watch Hillary Clinton’s public comments and talking to her campaign privately that the days when the Clinton campaign to dismiss Bernie Sanders who is a socialist and could he in certificate be president are gone. They are taking him serious now because they have to."
SOLTIS ANDERSON: "They are taking him seriously and leading to Hillary Clinton taking positions that’s further to the left than she had hoped to get through this primary season having to take. Coming out last night with statements on things like immigration, the Hyde amendment about whether or not the government can provide funding for things like abortion. She’s taking position on issues that I don’t know she was planning to wade into. She’s got this real fight on her hands. The other thing she has to prove this electability argument. Bernie Sanders talks about how he’s the one that is best prepared to go into a general election and he’s certainly correct he has better favorability ratings than Hillary Clinton does in the polls. Typically she’s stronger she has more money and more name I.D. Don’t count Bernie Sanders out. He’s undercutting this electability argument that she’s the only one who can carry the democratic banner in the again rag election with success. This is a strange election and Bernie Sanders can undercut her entire electability candidate."
