By Joe Newby. While appearing on Thursday’s edition of MSNBC’s “Hardball,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the current head of the Democratic National Committee, was stymied when host Chris Matthews asked her to tell the difference between a Democrat and a socialist. The question was asked as part of a discussion about Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont socialist running for the White House as a Democrat.

“I used to think there is a big difference. What do you think it is?” he asked again. “A Democrat like Hillary and a socialist like Bernie Sanders.” Again, the Florida Democrat was unable to answer the question directly and tried to change the question.
