Hillary Clinton refuses to explain the difference between a Democrat and Socialist

MSNBC's Chris Matthews asked Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, "What's the difference between a socialist and a Democrat?" Of course, Hillary dodged the question.

Matthews: "I want to try to help you—for this audience, tonight, out audience—locate yourself, politically, in this country.


"Now we have trumped out there, and we have Bernie out here. Bernie calls himself a socialist—nobody uses a derogatory term anymore. He loves to have that label, he's never run as a Democrat, he runs against Democrats out there in Vermont. You're a Democrat.

"I'd say you're a pretty typical Democrat in the tradition of the Democratic Party. ...What's the difference between a socialist and a Democrat?

Clinton: "You'd have to ask—"

Matthews: "I'm asking you. You're a Democrat, he's a socialist. Would you like somebody to call you a socialist? I wouldn't like someone to call me a socialist."

Clinton: "I'm not one."

Matthews: "OK, well what's the difference between a socialist and a Democrat?"

Clinton: "Well, I can tell you what I am. I am a progressive Democrat

"I'm a progressive Democrat who likes to get things done and who believes that we are better off in this country when we're trying to solve problems together, getting people to work together. There will always be strong feelings, and I respect that, from, you know, the far-right, the far left, libertarians, whoever it might be.

"We need to get people working together we, gotta get the economy fixed, get all of our problems, you know, really tackled, and that's what I want."
