WaPo Ed.-Mr. Sanders’s shocking ignorance on his core issue HRC ROOM

[hrmjustin]

Editorial Board

MORE THAN anything else, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has based his campaign on attacking Wall Street — the millionaires and billionaires who, by his telling, wrecked the U.S. economy, dominate the political system and must be brought to heel. Given his commitment to the message, you might expect he would have some familiarity with the policy details and implications.

A New York Daily News editorial board interview with the candidate proved otherwise. The senator seemed to have no idea of what reformed banks should look like, or whether he would need new legislation, even though the government under his presidency would play a central role in tearing apart these complex financial institutions.

1. Well, the Bern's been politickin' so hard, he can't keep up with his reading! LOL!

9. I think he stopped reading after his brother brought home Marx when he was teenager...

You know the type?

Thought they knew everything as a teenager but then never grew out of that phase like the rest of us?

10. Yes, indeed, caught in a 1950s time warp.

[KittyWampus]

11. It's not just being in a time warp. It's not growing intellectually

or eventually being grown up enough to find the humility and grace to realize you don't know everything.

[Surya Gayatri]

12. God, yes. I cannot BEAR his self-righteous moralizing. Like he's somehow got a corner on the only

true faith. Blech!

2. Thankfully the other media is picking up on it.. we wondered if they would.

"It’s astonishing that, on this of all issues, the campaign would need to issue a what-the-candidate-meant-to-say statement. Even then, the campaign has left a lot of essential questions unanswered."

Many voters share Mr. Sanders’s disdain for high finance and his nostalgia for an economy based more on manufacturing. But such prejudices, whether sound or not, provide an insufficient basis for remaking the world’s largest economy. Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton has a banking-sector reform proposal designed to address the highest risks to the financial system that remain after the first round of reform. Mr. Sanders has yet to furnish anything of equivalent rigor. We hope he provides more clarity in next week’s Democratic debate

.
Once again proof that Hillary is the best on the issues.. even the ones sanders only talks about.

Thank you, Justin~

3. Yes let's not forget it : Mr. Sander's shocking ignorance on his core issue!

Now in the back of their heads everyone is wondering is this guy qualified? Since the NYDN editorial and since He brought it up?

READY FOR HRC AND HRC READY FOR DAY 1 !!

4. i mentioned that last night.. saying @ least when he deflects those questions he never

answers when asked.. the viewers should be taking more notice.. I hope!

[Her Sister]

5. Yes when something is finally noticed

it's impossible to not notice! The same happened with Marco Rubio after the debate where he robotically repeated exactly the same phrase.

Like with dating, you date a guy and think he is great but one day you notice something that bothers you and makes him look stupid and from then on that's all you notice! Sometimes friends have seen it all along way before you ~but until you see it yourself it does not compute what they're saying.

6. Rubio.. "the republicon savior".. according Time Magazine..

Yes, it's going to be hard not to notice BS' deflecting in the upcoming debates and when he gets asked questions by reporters and pundits.

I'm thinking the NYDN is not finished with BS, either.. I doubt they liked the sanders camp revisionist history that it was a "hit piece".

7. That's gonna leave a mark!

[stopbush]

8. "shocking ignorance." Two words you'll never see applied

to Hillary Clinton.

13. You would think by now he would have a mastery of his signature issue

What has kept him from actually researching? Does he think far too much of his own "deducing" and it doesn't even dawn on him that he isn't as smart as he thinks he is?
Good grief!!!
