The Vermont senator, [fresh off his latest win in Wyoming](http://time.com/4287686/bernie-sanders-wins-wyoming-caucuses/?xid=homepage), dug in on the “doubts” he has about Clinton’s ability to make important decisions during appearances on two Sunday political talk shows. “In many respects, she may have the experience to be president of the United States,” Sanders said on [NBC’s _Meet the Press_](http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press). “No one can argue that. But in terms of her judgment, something is clearly lacking.” “I have my doubts about what kind of president she would make,” he added during a segment of CNN’s _State of the Union_ that aired Sunday. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4287756/bernie-sanders-clinton-judgment/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4287756/bernie-sanders-clinton-judgment/"},"headline":"Bernie Sanders: 'Something Is Clearly Lacking' in Hillary Clinton’s Judgment","datePublished":"2016-04-10T15:28:43.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T09:27:58.641Z","description":"“I have my doubts about what kind of president she would make\"","url":"https://time.com/4287756/bernie-sanders-clinton-judgment/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9969fb0af269d690/69888e603c1639b15945cc85/bernie-sanders3.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Chan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-chan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9969fb0af269d690/69888e603c1639b15945cc85/bernie-sanders3.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Bernie Sanders","caption":"Bernie Sanders","creditText":"Mary Altaffer—AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4287756/bernie-sanders-clinton-judgment/","name":"Bernie Sanders: 'Something Is Clearly Lacking' in Hillary Clinton’s Judgment"}}]}] ```
