Bernie Sanders thinks Hillary Clinton's judgment is 'clearly lacking'


Bernie Sanders thinks "something is clearly lacking" in Hillary Clinton's judgment, the Vermont senator said Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press. But he also continued walking back his assertion that the former secretary of state is "not qualified" to be president.
"She may have the experience to be president of the United States," Sanders said. "No one can argue that."
In questioning Clinton's judgment, Sanders cited her relationship with Wall Street as well as her previous support for the Iraq War and free trade agreements.
