Will Contrasts ‘Plodding, Sullen, Joyless’ Clinton Campaign to Surging Sanders Campaign

‘Bernie Sanders is fun!’

BAIER: “So the Clinton people saying the knocks are coming. If he gets in they're coming.”

WILL: “It sounds as though they think it's more than just possible, but probable at this point. You showed the poll of Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders is fun, particularly if you're in politics as activists are for the fun of it. And fun is not the word that springs to mind when you look at the Clinton campaign. A kind of plodding, sullen, joyless pursuit of joy. And at this point, he -- Bernie Sanders, could be what Gene McCarthy was to Lyndon Johnson. He demonstrated Lyndon Johnson’s vulnerability in the New Hampshire primary. Bobby Kennedy said oh, come to think about it, I might do this instead. It’s particularly damaging and threatening I think to Mrs. Clinton because Biden contrasts so vividly with her. He is ebullient, he is happy, he is a cheerful, happy warrior. And he's fun. And the contrast is deadly.”
