Mike Barnicle on the “enlightening” Democratic presidential debate

Following another of what Morning Joe’s Mike Barnicle called “enlightening” Democratic presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders last night, Barnicle, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski discuss the vast differences in rhetoric between Democrats and Republicans, including Hillary Clinton’s ongoing issues with voters. “There are two electoral maps that are instructive as to the difficulty her campaign is now in the middle of coping with—one is from Massachusetts and the other is from Michigan, Democratic strongholds in a sense. Bernie Sanders carries, across the board, working class people and young people… while Clinton, despite being in politics for 30 years, has trouble addressing her message to that group of people. She’s losing them—and that does not bode well for her in the fall,” says Barnicle. Hear the rest of the conversation here.
