reach the conclusion that Sanders's disengagement with foreign policy was so deeply worrying that it calls into question his ability to ever learn the minimal basics for conducting US foreign policy, which would be the point at which this would become disqualifying
I mean, he's been in the race for months now. He should have better answers than this.
-
Yes, these answers are bad, but they come across to me as those of someone who didn't bother to study before the big test — concerning, but not disqualifying — rather than someone who lacks the necessary intelligence or curiosity to ever learn.
Well if you don't study for the test and then REPEATEDLY FAIL EVERY TEST, I feel like that means you REFUSE to be qualified for an essential part of the job.

So I would say that the key doctrine of the Sanders administration would be no, we cannot continue do it alone, we need to work in coalition.

a Sanders blowout in New Hampshire could produce some more momentum for him, whereas a strong Clinton showing would show that she is stopping the Sanders insurgency in advance of the next set of contests, where the more diverse electorates give her an advantage

Bernie Sanders is a "once in a lifetime candidate." Clinton represents establishment politics. If you're not voting for Sanders in 2016, don't ever again complain about Wall Street, perpetual wars, or money in politics.
Kind of like Obama?

Bernie Sanders never uses euphemisms. I trust Bernie because he speaks clearly; English is a means to communicate, not shield from criticism.

And when black football players joined the protest, Mr. Wolfe says, it was "the equivalent of throwing gasoline on a small fire." He adds that their coach, Gary Pinkel, "missed the opportunity to teach them a valuable life lesson" and that "the end result could be financial catastrophe for our university" because, he says, the university will lose "more than $25 million" in revenue from reduced enrollment next fall.
glad he doesn't think that the lives of students of color are worth that much

she was trying to do so, that's why she was protecting the students of #ConcernedStudent1950
