To understand the difference between the two campaigns, watch the ads in NY. Hillary speaks in SPECIFICS. In her NY ads, she is talking about how she has specifically helped New York. She is speaking to ACTUAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS. She ALWAYS does this. In WI she spoke about SPECIFIC Wisconsin issues. In her stump speech, she talks in specifics about how to create a better economy where people can get ahead.
With Bernie, it is all VAGUE GENERALITIES and the same old same old. Yeah, it all looks good and sounds good and feels COOL, but where is the substance? At some point, you have to start running on specifics, not vague platitudes and generalities. You have to explain things. You need a nuanced and TAILORED message. If I was a NY voter, I would be WAY more motivated by Hillary's specific and tailored ads than Bernie's burned out same old same old generality ads.

(685 posts)I think that's part of what turns me off about his supporters...no sense of nuance or understanding that there's hard choices - particularly with foreign policy, where you have a bad actor and a worse actor to choose between. It's a much more complex world to unravel than he speaks about.

(1,446 posts)it seems so obvious that he's all about the sound bite. Honestly, it seems to me that Trump and Sanders are the same type of candidate on opposite sides of the spectrum. Both are using divisive rhetoric, talk in catchy slogans with no substance behind them, and both are tolerating aggressiveness from their supporters without saying anything to condone it - a true leader would not let this happen.
