Sen. Bernie Sanders Bernie SandersPress: Bernie Sanders has already won The Hill's Morning Report - Can Trump, Congress agree on coronavirus package? Biden ready for big wins on Tuesday MORE (I-Vt.), a 2020 White House hopeful, responded late Tuesday to criticism from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham ClintonPress: Bernie Sanders has already won The Hill's Morning Report - Can Trump, Congress agree on coronavirus package? Biden ready for big wins on Tuesday MORE, saying he doesn't want to relive 2016, unlike the former Democratic nominee.
At a Fox News town hall, moderators Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum played a clip for Sanders from a new documentary about Clinton.
"Bernie just drove me crazy," Clinton said in the clip. "He was in Congress for years. Years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him. He got nothing done."
She added: "He was a career politician. He had — he did not work until he was like 41 and then he got elected to something. It was all just baloney and I feel so bad that, you know, people got sucked into it."
To her criticism, Sanders responded: "Unlike Secretary Clinton, I don’t want to relive 2016. We’re in 2020 now."
"But also, if you guys looked at some of the polling that they do for United States senators, you know they do polls that — how popular you are. In most cases I turn out to be the most popular United States senator in the whole country," he continued.
Voters in six more states will cast ballots in the Democratic presidential primary on Tuesday, with 352 pledged delegates at stake. Many pundits see Michigan, with 125 delegates, as the state where Sanders must do well if he wants to remain competitive with former Vice President Joe Biden Joe BidenPress: Bernie Sanders has already won The Hill's Morning Report - Can Trump, Congress agree on coronavirus package?

This is not the first time I heard Bernie didn't work before politics. I decided to look it up. Wiki isn't the greatest resource but since when are carpenter, writer, psychiatric assistant, and head start teacher not real jobs? Is it because he went straight from average person to politician?

I don’t understand Hillary making any public comments at all. Her comments only (for me) reinforces the notion that “the political machine” is out to take him down.
