Nicolle Wallace on Sanders, Clinton: I Think He's Doing Real Damage To Her'

May 20, 2016

Nicolle Wallace told a panel on Friday that she thinks Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) is doing noticeable damage to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

"I think he's doing real damage to her and I think, we talked a second ago about Trump being three points ahead of her," she said on MSNBC's Morning Joe. "I think there's a direct line you can draw to the damage being inflicted upon her from the right and the left of the ideological spectrum."

Prior to this comment, journalist Willie Geist discussed a tweet from Donald Trump that mentioned Sanders.

Geist noted the continuous mentions of Sanders in his tweets. An example of this is when Trump said that the Democratic presidential race was rigged against him.

Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski pointed out the Sanders camp is starting to make headway with their attacks on Clinton.

"He's making headway," she said. "At least, with the DNC. I think they are trying to work with him, trying to figure out how to make up for–"

Then Wallace jumped in to stress the damage that is being done to her from both sides.

Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough continued by discussing the "palpable anger" that has been shown towards the DNC, citing the chaos that erupted at the Nevada Democratic Convention. This involved throwing chairs and death threats to the chairman, Roberta Lange.

"Bernie supporters aren't just going to kiss and make up," Scarborough said.
