From The Reporter’s Notebook
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) had a long interview with the editorial board of the New York Daily News, where they discussed Israel, education before college and how Sanders would break-up the banks. In the interview, Sanders struggled to detail specifics of how a Sanders presidency would break-up Wall Street megabanks and how Wall Street executives could have been prosecuted. This has been a central issue of Sanders’ campaign and the board pressed him for answers. TPM’s Caitlin Cruz recommends reading the full exchange here.
Agree or Disagree?
Josh Marshall: “As they try to build Cruz into something approaching a delegate tie, what on earth makes anyone think they will be able to up and give the nomination to someone else? It makes no sense. Like I’ve said a few times, you can maybe steal the nomination once. But twice in a single convention? I seriously doubt it.”
BUZZING: Today in the Hive
From a TPM Prime member re: Vice President candidates: “I agree (based on 25 years of late in NM) that Tom Udall would be a good candidate. One of Mark’s pluses is that you don’t have to risk a Dem senate seat, but I admit that he has baggage. I think he is more lefty than you do – remember that he had to win votes in the Western Slope and the San Luis Valley, as well as secessionist NW CO. But if you want a pure-blooded liberal Westerner, how about Martin Heinrich? Or for a non-Castro Hispanic, Ben Ray Lujan?”
Related: Steve King once claimed that he was as Hispanic as Julian Castro.
