On Here and Now this afternoon on NPR, they visited campaign headquarters for both Candidates in Brooklyn. The questions asked to volunteers at each office, and their respective answers, say a lot about the base for each candidate, in my opinion.

A Sanders volunteer was asked about Bernie's interview with the New York Times in which he seemed to lack specifics in his plan to break up banks. She responded by saying that Sanders definitely has specifics to his plan, but the NYT failed, more than anything else, to get a simple, self contained "soundbite" for the plan. She essentially suggested that people critically evaluate the information for themselves rather than accept it dogmatically from a media source or elsewhere. Her response seemed very informed and reasoned (I fully concede that I am biased in this case and am editorializing here).

A Clinton volunteer, on the other hand, was asked about what youth voters see in Sanders that they don't see in Clinton, and he completely avoided that question and instead talked about how they are organizing volunteers to go to colleges. He was then asked about whether or not Hillary was giving specifics for her "pragmatic approaches." He said (direct quote here) that "the details, for me, don't matter as much." He was then asked what his response is to the controversy over Hillary's speech transcripts and her determination not to release them. He said (again, direct quote) "those, to me, are details...I really trust Hillary, and I think she believes in the things I most believe. I feel like she speaks for the majority." These answers do not instill confidence, to me.

Both responses seem quite telling, and may be somewhat emblematic of the mindset on both sides. But, of course, this is just one small instance, so it's probably not fair to generalize so extremely. Segment is here if you want to listen.
