Bernie's "break up the banks"gaffe SHOULD help him in the debate because it will force Hillary to

pivot back to her original position thus producing a clear contrast as was originally the case.

Hillary vascilates on this issue when it's expedient to do so. Her original platform didn't include it but she adopted it when she noticed Bernie was scoring big AND Elizabeth Warren came out and said, 'Right on, Bernie! Break 'em up!!'

But now, after Bernie's bad interview with the Daily News, everyone is saying he's naive and he has no plan (read his website; a bad interview doesn't equate to "no plan&quot . Now, she'll pivot all the way back to her original platform.

Hillary Clinton may be ready to break up the big banks

Breaking up the big banks is one the rallying cries of liberals when it comes to the economy. Now Hillary Rodham Clinton has all but embraced the cause.
