Hillary spokeswoman spins wheels when asked ‘is she a neocon/hawk?’

It took Rand Paul crashing a Democratic Forum to finally put a substantive policy question to Hillary Clinton, with a little help from Chris Matthews, who seemed to relish the fireworks.

It all started with Rand Paul surrounded by Hillary and Bernie supporters laying out the clear hawkish policies of Hillary Clinton and how she’s practically identical with Marco Rubio on foreign policy. You can practically hear the crowd gasp. But it gets even better when Hillary’s communication director, Jennifer Palmieri, is asked to respond to the charge. She tries to laugh it off, but Chris holds her feet to the fire. Clearly she wasn’t prepped for this question.

Funny, right? But it’s also sad and pathetic. Hillary’s main communication director is clearly not prepared for a question on her hawkish foreign policy. Clearly they know not to expect a question like that from a fellow Democrat.

As much as I love seeing Rand Paul crash a Democratic hornet nest with a substantive jibe at Hillary’s foreign policy, how pathetic is it that Bernie Sanders isn’t doing this? Seriously, is there a single military action that she has opposed in the last 30 years, and not after the fact?

Someone help me out here. I’m just not feeling the bern. Maybe he’s just running…for show?
