Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) stood up when asked by an audience member at the CNN Democratic Presidential Town Hall Monday night whether his opponent Hillary Clinton is “more prepared” for the job of President of the United States.
“This calls for a standing-up response,” he said.
After a short pause, Sanders replied, “Alright, let me shock everybody here... This is true."
"I’ve known Hillary Clinton for 25 years," he went on. "You know what? I like Hillary Clinton and I respect Hillary Clinton. She has devoted her life to public service.”
Sanders later noted that he has strived to avoid “running a negative campaign,” possibly implying that he has chosen to take the high ground in contrast with his Democratic rival.
