Socialist Bernie Sanders is leading several Democratic polls over struggling Hillary Clinton.
Twice today DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz refused to say if Socialist Sanders is electable.
Wasserman Schultz was asked about Sanders Sunday on CNN.
The Washington Free Beacon reported:
Twice Wasserman Schultz was asked about Sanders’ electability on CNN’s State of the Union, and twice she ducked the question to bash Republican presidential candidates for holding what she says are extreme views.
“Bernie Sanders is a self-identified socialist. If he’s your party’s nominee would the socialist label hurt the Democratic Party’s chances of winning the White House in 2016?” CNN reporter Dana Bash asked Wasserman Schultz.
“Dana, this election is going to be decided based on what the voters believe is the best choice in their candidate for president who is going to help make sure their lives can get better,” Wasserman Schultz said.
“Any one of those candidates is in dramatic contrast to any of the Republican circus candidates—circus performers—on the other side,” Wasserman Schultz said.
“Do you believe Bernie Sanders can beat any Republican?” Bash asked later.
“I believe that any one of our candidates will stand in stark contrast when it comes to the priorities of the American people,” Wasserman Schultz said.
