From You Tube. More from Claire McCaskill's interview. Digs hole deeper.

[madfloridian]

Here is the first part of the interview with Bernie's response.

Halperin was picking on her, he's good at that. However, he was not responsible for the words that came out of her mouth about liberal ideas.

She defined herself.

[randys1]

1. NO, NOT Democrat Senator NO that is an intentional smear

I saw that in relation to this story elsewhere today...

Yep, I know who they are now

Yep, this shit is clear as day now.

[Kalidurga]

2. You know every meeting I go to we complain about the same thing.

Bernie isn't getting media scrutiny. It's like come on guys cover his campaign get his message out, it's not like we got a lot of corporate money to do it ourselves.

[arcane1]

3. You mean the "Ready For Hillary Super-PAC" employee, Claire McCaskill?

That money has to go somewhere!

Hell, Morning Joe lost their biggest sponsor. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out they took a little money for this too.

4. " He would like to see medicare for all in this country to have everybody have a government

insurance policy" Like that's a bad thing? he would like to see expansion of entitlement ,*not entitlements, entitlement he is not worried about a debt at all, he is somebody who ,frankly someone who is against trade, he's against a whole lot of things that are unrealistic in this day and age.

All that makes me like Bernie even more.

* bolded part mine, that she used entitlement instead of entitlements just jumped out at me

Hillary should tell Claire to STFU NOW. On second thought, let her fucking talk

[madfloridian]

5. Your last sentence...yes, indeed.

[Autumn]

6. Can you post this in the group pretty please???

This is the most awesome interview in the history of interviews with a stooge I hope she never sees this and realizes just how bad it makes her look. My jaw was dropping to the floor.

[madfloridian]

7. .......

Go ahead and post it. I'll be offline a few hours. Didn't think of it. She really dug that hole.

[Autumn]

8. Awesome. Thank you I'm gonna link to your OP

Cause it's all kind of good.

[AgingAmerican]

21. He wants everyone to have GUMMINT insurance!

Entitlements! He isn't worried about the debt, AKA he is against AUSTERITY!!

He is against FREE TRADE!

All attacks FROM THE RIGHT

[NorthCarolina]

9. I gotta hand it to Halperin, those few brief seconds

were brilliant. But, but, but...he wants Medicare for all! He wants more Entitlements! OK folks, there's your conservative wing of the Democratic Party talking....But, but, but He wants Medicare for all you know! For ALL!

So, I guess it's safe to assume Hillary isn't on board with single payer healthcare. A heads-up for true Democrats should she try to adopt the mantle of a single payer advocate during the campaign....don't believe it.

Lastly, what really kills me about the whole clip is how completely befuddled she became from just one simple question. Where do you differ on policy with Bernie? Goes to show that she is obviously not accustomed to being asked anything of merit by the media, and because of that she in no way was expecting to be challenged on her bullshit.

Great clip, very informative. Thanks for posting.

13. But that's a pretty typical response.

I can't tell you how many times on DU that I've asked which positions the "far left" holds that are so anathema to purportedly mainstream Dems, and I get crickets every time.

[Autumn]

14. He's for an expansion of entitlement, not entitlements mind you, entitlement .

He would like to see medicare for all in this country to have everybody have a government insurance policy" I'm still chuckling over that.

[daleanime]

10. Well, she better have been paid very well......

because she pretty much finished her career. Few republicans will vote for anyone with a 'D' next to their name, and any Democrat running against her now has tons of ammunition.

[LWolf]

11. That was awkward.

For McCaskill.

[pa28]

12. Wow, the arrogance.

She seemed genuinely offended at being called on to explain her remark about Bernie being an extremist.

After attacking Bernie and his message out one side of her mouth she says she's not there to attack him or his message out the other side.

What a revealing interview.

[winter is coming]

15. Well, I hope the HRC campaign has a lot of surrogates, 'cause this one's dead in the water. n/t

[raouldukelives]

16. Medicare for all? "The horror, the horror."

The more a reality without corporations having unfettered access to deceive and destroy us creeps, the more disjointed and afraid they will become.
The bosses are displeased with this narrative.

[KingCharlemagne]

17. Behold the personification of "tool" - nt

[DeeDeeNY]

18. K and R

Thanks for posting

[libdem4life]

19. She did forget the part about some taxation on the billionaire class paying the tab. That should

have been her first shot. I mean, they are going to have to build poorhouses for these folk...gasp...taxes? Pearl clutching, indeed.

[AgingAmerican]

20. Message for Hillary and her surrogates

Attack Bernie from the right AT YOUR PERIL!

This makes Hillary look horrible.

[Jefferson23]

22. She needs more rehearsal time. n/t

[L0oniX]

23. K & R

[davidpdx]

24. McCaskill is a bluedog D and supports Hillary Clinton

Yet I hear how Clinton is supposedly advocating for the same things Sanders is. If she is, then she is a hypocrite for criticizing Sanders for his progressive ideas.

Plus it took her well over two minutes to come up with the three things Sanders should be criticized by the media about. Was she having a Rick Perry moment?

[morningfog]

25. She just failed the audition for HIllary's attack dog. That was pitiful.

[Thinkingabout]

26. Guess it is not good to be honest with some folks.
