Sanders on breaking up banks: "I haven't personally studied that."

Doesn't he also want to raise the corporate tax rate?  What's he gonna do when GE moves to another country, slap a tariff on GE products to punish them?  Then he really would be Trump.

Wow, you weren't kidding, this whole interview is excruciatingly painful.

I got to the part on breaking up financial institutions and had to stop because his arrogance and incompetence was just infuriating me.

So much of the interview comes down to "I don't know" or "I haven't studied that" or "I'm not sure what the implications would be" or "I believe that" for things that aren't true.

This guy wants to undertake an extremely radical shaking-up of the US economy, and he's not even confident about what would happen or how it would work!  He walks around like he's the leading expert on the evils of Wall Street and how to fix him, and here he is getting stumped again and again on his one issue -- the issue he pivots to on every question because "fix this and you fix everything" -- by a couple journalists.  Reminds me of the Palin/Couric interview.

Just from the last part I read before quitting:

Neel Kashkari says we should consider breaking up the big banks, but he's not sure exactly what the best way to do that is, either.

We'll remember that when he runs for President, flack.

What does Kashkari know about banking? He only oversaw the TARP bailout and is a Federal Reserve President.

Neal isn't promising to do it.  I think it'd be nice to go to Mars but I don't have a plan for it.  If someone ran for president promising to take us to Mars and made it the core of his campaign, I'd expect him to have a detailed plan or at least understand the basic challenges and laws of space travel.

This is the top story on CNN now and Bernie is drawing huge criticism.  No comment or defense from team Sanders.  How humiliating.  Good thing for them it'll all be drowned out by "Clinton is dead???" stories after he wins Wisconsin tonight.

Bernie is a classic politician that has no idea what he is talking about. The same for Warren. Stein and Kucinich are far better. At least Paul understood Austrian economics to a point where he could explain why the fed causes damage and should be audited. Holy sht sanders is a fraud

lol @ Jill Stein.

Glass-Stegall isn't enough because it doesn't add enough transparency and force sufficient capital requirements for over the counter financial instruments.

It'd be nice if we could have a President with Hillary's brain and grasp of economic issues and Sanders' values and lack of corruptibility.  That's why I wanted Warren to run.

Sorry to burst the bubble on this... but Warren is NOT that person.

Weird fact about Elizabeth Warren:  Her maiden name is Elizabeth Herring and her husband's name is Bruce Mann.  Where's the Warren come from?  It's the family name of her high school boyfriend, whom she divorced in 1978.  #trueloveneverdies
