Hillary, Debbie Stumped on Difference Between Democrats, Socialists

comicallyincorrect

NRO  "Chris Matthews stumped Hillary Clinton last night when he asked the Democratic front-runner to explain the difference between Democrats and socialists.  

"Clinton paused before beginning, ”Well you’d have to ask” — at which point Matthews interjected, “I’m asking you!” 

“You’re a Democrat, he’s a socialist,” Matthews continued, referring to Sen. Bernie Sanders. ”Would you like somebody to call you a socialist? I wouldn’t like someone calling me a socialist.” 

"Clinton ducked the question again: ”I’m a progressive Democrat who likes to get things done and who believes we’re better off in this country when we’re trying to solve problems together.”

Debbie Wasserman Schultz can't tell difference between Democrats and socialists

. . . " 'What's the big difference between a Democrat and a socialist?" he asked a third time. "You're chairman of the Democratic Party. Tell me the difference between you and a socialist." Once again, Wasserman Schultz dodged the question, apparently unaccustomed to being asked real questions from someone like Matthews.

" 'The relevant debate that we'll be having this campaign is what's the difference between a Democrat and a Republican," she said in response. "The difference between a Democrat and Republican is that Democrats fight to make sure everybody has an opportunity to succeed and the Republicans are strangled by their right-wing extremists," she added, completely unable to answer the question throughout the entire exchange.

"A number of people on Twitter had an answer, Twitchy said. For many, there is no difference between the modern Democratic Party and socialists." . . .
