Sanders also said Sunday, "in terms of her judgment, something is clearly lacking," during an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Tapper asked Sanders to address a comment Clinton made on "Meet the Press" last Sunday, when she was asked about her belief that the senator's campaign was "lying about my record" regarding donations from the fossil fuel industry.
"I feel sorry sometimes for the young people who, you know, believe this," Clinton told host Chuck Todd. "They don't do their own research. And I'm glad that we now can point to reliable, independent analysis to say, 'No, it's just not true.'"
Sanders, however, disagreed with Clinton's characterization.
"I think that's a little bit condescending," Sanders said. "I'll tell you my experience with young people. ... I see them every day because they're coming out to our rallies. These are young people who want to be involved in shaping the future of this country
(snip)
"They're proud of this country. They want to make it a better country. I think they do a whole lot of research and I think that the Internet has opened up the opportunity for them to do a lot of research," he added. "And I'll tell you, one of the reasons I think we're doing so well is a lot of those people are going to the Internet and hearing what we have to say and what Bernie Sanders believes in."

(23,867 posts)He wasn't much older than 20. I had my Bernie shirt on. He just started talking to me. I am clearly not 20, haha. But I looked him in the eye and said I had been waiting 45 years. But then I realized that he was only 20. I said I was aware he hadn't seen anything but establishment politics in his life. I saw a spark in his eye, and went further. I said I knew his future was imperiled if not nonexistent. He turned and started talking about how important this election is. He was a fervent Bernie supporter.
Believe it or not, I went to go walking on a friend's property, and before I left he was intense about his sense of importance of this election. He dropped his head and said he'd vote for Hillary to keep the monsters out of the White House, but was unhappy thinking about having to vote for a candidate who is so entrenched in establishment mentality and politics.
I swear the connection I saw and felt with that young man will stay with me forever. This is so frustrating to watch. All of these young people who want change, and know what they need.

(151 posts)The Clintons have a history of antagonizing and disregarding the wishes of the Democratic base. They know that there is no where else for them to go.
