"I don't think thats true." Then said:

"I think they're both passionate about kids having a great education, I think they want to make sure everybody has healthcare. I think that they both believe in a tax system that is fair and not tilted towards, you know, the folks at the very top. But, you know, they â?? I think Bernie came in with the luxury of being a complete longshot and just letting loose."

"I think Hillary came in with the â?? both privilege and burden of being perceived as the front-runner."

"I've gotten to know Hillary really well, and she is a good, smart, tough person who cares deeply about this country, and she has been in the public eye for a long time and in a culture in which new is always better," he said. "And, you know, you're always looking at the bright, shiny object that people don't, haven't seen before. That's a disadvantage to her."

"Bernie is somebody who â?? although I don't know as well because he wasn't, obviously, in my administration, has the virtue of saying exactly what he believes, and great authenticity, great passion, and is fearless. His attitude is, 'I got nothing to lose.'"
