Bernie Sanders feeling media heat after new interview - CNNPolitics.com
Sanders expressed uncertainty over facts, said he couldn't give a proper answer to a question because he didn't have all the relevant information, or simply stated, "I don't know."
"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."

TRANSCRIPT: Bernie Sanders meets with News Editorial Board
The scary Bernie Sanders
Both conflicts produced accusations that Israel had inflicted an unacceptable death toll on Palestinians — despite having gone many extra miles to spare civilians whom Hamas had deliberately put in harm’s way.
Bernie Bombs in NYDN Editorial Meeting, Reveals Just How Substance-Free His Campaign Is
For all the attention that Donald Trump has gotten for his policy-free trainwreck of an editorial meeting with The Washington Post and later The New York Times, not much attention has been given to the fact that Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders gave an equally disastrous interview to the editorial board of the New York Daily News.
NYDN released its transcript of the editorial meeting late last night, and boy is it a doozy. The worst parts are below, but those with the time to spare should really read the whole thing. Suffice it say, it was more or less an hour-long exercise in the editors asking serious and well thought-out questions about policy, and Sanders revealing that he was in way, way over his head.

I've been saying it had to happen. And now Hillary has plenty of ammo for their next debate.
Check this out:
--------------------
Would there be a consumer bank? Where would the investing go?
Sanders: I’m not running JPMorgan Chase or Citibank.
Daily News: No. But you’d be breaking it up.
Sanders: That’s right. And that is their decision as to what they want to do and how they want to reconfigure themselves. That’s not my decision.
And on question after question, Sanders whiffed.
“It’s something I have not studied, honestly, the legal implications of that,” Sanders responded.
On foreign policy, we again see the pattern of Sanders speaking broadly about the issues that need to be fixed, but offering zero concrete answers on how to do so.

It's like he read my post and is repeating it.
------------------
I’m just telling you that I happen to believe…anybody help me out here, because I don’t remember the figures
“You’re asking me a very fair question, and if I had some paper in front of me, I would give you a better answer,” he said frankly.
Do you believe that he’s got the right policy there?”
Sanders’ response: “I don’t know the answer to that.”
