In a fundraising letter sent out before the polls closed in Wisconsin on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton's campaign brought attention to the rocky interview Bernie Sanders had with the editorial board of the New York Daily News, even sharing the entire transcript in the body of the email.
During the interview, published Monday, Sanders stumbled while answering how he would break up the big banks (on Tuesday, his spokesman clarified his position), if he supported President Obama's drone policy, and even how you ride the New York subway system (he replied that you still have to use a token). Clinton's email called the interview "telling," and said while Sanders "clearly cares passionately about the things he believes in" and has been "a powerful advocate for leveling the playing field in this country," readers get "the impression Sen. Sanders hasn't thought very much" about how he will get things done.
