Hillary Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont have clashed in sometimes-caustic terms in recent days: Mr. Sanders has questioned Mrs. Clinton’s judgment, and she has criticized the credibility of his policy ideas with obvious exasperation.
Bernie:
rails against Wall Street
declares that it is time to break up the big banks and get money out of politics
argues that only a “political revolution” can change Washington
Hillary:
In debates, she has often found herself in the uninspiring position of expressing sympathy with Mr. Sanders’s principles but arguing that the scale and specifics of his promises are unrealistic.
The news cycle gave Mr. Sanders a big gift on Wednesday, with the revelation that five big banks had failed to develop plans for dismantling themselves in the event of a financial crisis. It is a story that plays directly into Mr. Sanders’s area of political confidence, and that is an easy cue for him to brandish his core message on the debate stage.
-------------------------------------------
Since Bernie has had two years to work on his "I hate Wall Street" platform and still doesn't know what too big to fail means or how to break up the banks, I believe that is what Mrs. Clinton should focus on. How to get things done. But also what happens if they aren't done right.
Just breaking up companies willy nilly would result in job losses and economic disaster. Talk about his not knowing what he is doing. He sputters, he gets angry, it makes him look like an old man telling kids to get out of his yard when his ignorance is challenged..
