Gun control and the death penalty are issues that point up differences between old time, economy and democracy focused socialism and contemporary, identity and Kumbaya issue liberalism.
The Daily News knows what it likes, and blasts Bernie because he refuses to go along with Clinton and the PC left in allowing gun shooting victims to sue manufacturers for what criminals and crazies have done with their products while attacking his intention to break up the big banks, though those are very nearly the only sensible things in his entire agenda.
Hillary has lunged at the chance provided by the interview and headline to hammer him about this and other things.
As for the broader purpose and impact of his interview, there has been quite a lot of fallout.
On MSNBC Andrea Mitchell and her cohorts are even ripping Bernie because he hasn't used the NYC subway recently enough to know how you have to pay.
Apparently, tokens and turnstiles are out. Or maybe just tokens.
Whatever.
Sanders feeling media heat after new interview
His opponents are making him out to be not really ready for the big time in a manner not much different from the way they treat Trump, though in fact The Donald really is unready while Bernie has decades of preparation under his belt.
In one exchange, Sanders acknowledged that he wasn't sure exactly how he intended to break up the big banks, a proposal that has been a centerpiece of his Wall Street reform agenda.
"I think the interview raised a lot of really serious questions," Hillary Clinton said Wednesday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
"I look at it this way, the core of his campaign has been break up the banks and it didn't seem in his answers he understood how that would work under Dodd Frank."
Clinton continued, "I'd think he hadn't done his homework and he has been talking for more than a year about ... things that he obviously hadn't really studied or understood and that does raise a lot of questions and really what it does is for voters to ask themselves, can he deliver what he is talking about, can he really help people."
For some political observers, the senator's difficulty in providing direct answers to some questions reinforced their belief that he lacks a concrete plan to implement his domestic agenda and is ill-prepared to handle the global challenges he would face as president.
"If Hillary [Clinton] gave answers like this to [an editorial] board, she would be crucified," tweeted Mark Halperin, the Bloomberg television host and co-author of "Game Change."
Some people have noticed the whole interview was a hatchet job and the Daily News was wrong on several important matters of fact.
Did Bernie Sanders Botch An Interview With The Daily News? It’s Not That Simple.
This wasn’t an interview about policy details.
It was about who the media has decided is presidential and who isn’t, who is serious and who isn’t.
The Daily News and much of the rest of the media don’t think Sanders is qualified to be president, and that’s the motivation for an interview meant to expose what the media have already decided is true.
Candidates the media deem to be serious do not get these policy pop quizzes, because it is believed (accurately) that they can hire experienced advisers who can work out the details.
But if they were pressed, there’s no doubt a studied reporter could make them look silly.
