Hillary Clinton's refusal to take a stand on a controversial Asia trade deal is offensive, one of the Democratic presidential front-runner's challengers, Senator Bernie Sanders, said Thursday.
"I don't understand how, on an issue of such huge consequence, you don't have an opinion," Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist who launched a bid for Democratic nomination earlier this year, told reporters at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast.
