Bernie Sanders will not have to face a Committee like the


one Hillary Clinton faced. He has nothing in his history that any such committee could question him on. He hasn't been Secretary of State, as Clinton was, so doesn't have to explain what happened in Libya or anywhere else. Hillary has been a Senator, though, but nobody calls Senators before hostile committees.

It would be interesting to see him taking questions from a committee of Republicans, but that's not going to happen. That make Clinton's appearance before the committee even more fraught with danger for her as a presidential primary candidate.

So, we can only imagine how Bernie Sanders would have handled that committee. We've seen Hillary in tough spots a number of times, and she generally handles herself quite nicely under stress. We haven't seen Bernie under that kind of stress. I wish we could, so we could see his demeanor in such situations. That's important, because Presidents face stressful situations fairly often.

I thought Clinton handled the questioning in a way that gives me confidence about how she will handle tough negotiations with national leaders who aren't necessarily our friends. She's done that before, too, as SoS. She did just fine in those circumstances. Her experience will be useful to her if she is elected as President, I'm sure.

I wish I knew more about how Sanders would handle such situations.

Careful there DUmmie. Don't want to piss off the bern.

National leaders who, as liberals view it, aren't necessarily our friends; like Israel, Britain, and Canada.

Sander has nothing in his past? Well that's a high standard!

DUmmy is questioning SanderClaus ?

He better stop that nonsense soon, or else SanderClaus is going to leave a bill for several trillion dollars under his Nondescript Holiday Tree for Midwinter Giftgiving Season instead of a shiny new Obamaphone.

I would like to hear more about his ideas about how women fantasize about rape.  Or how certain problems women face are due to lack of orgasms.

14. I don't think there's a good way to discuss it, either.

That's a problem. As President, he will find himself in such situations, certainly. I'm familiar with his acerbic and sometimes blunt style at times. I'm not sure that's the best approach in some circumstances.

Maybe someone can link to some video clips of difficult situations that required a response. I'll go look at anything someone wants to offer up.

Here you go Rockhead.  The liver spotted old fool in a situation that required a response:  His rally was hijacked by a BLM activist and Bernie responded by surrendering the stage to the tub of guts and running away like a little chickenshit.  Hardly presidential behavior.

Bernie will not stand in front of a committee because he is not a lying b!tch like Hillary.
