Brooks: Hillary May Be A Lot Of Things, But ‘Unqualified’ ‘Is Not One of Them’

New York Times columnist David Brooks argued that “Whatever else” Democratic presidential candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton “may be, unqualified, at least by any conventional measure, is not one of them” on Friday’s “PBS NewsHour.”

Brooks said Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) “made a decision early on, I think the wrong decision, to take the email issue off the table, and take a bunch of issues off the table, and not go after Hillary Clinton. And so he really wasn’t as tough on her as he could be. Now he’s going after her, to me, on the least promising possible grounds, that she’s unqualified. Whatever else Hillary Clinton may be, unqualified, at least by any conventional measure, is not one of them. And so I’m a little mystified.”
