Biden: Sanders Has Credibility; Clinton Is Relatively New to Income Inequality Issues

BORGER: But why is she having trouble?

BIDEN: Well, I think that Bernie is speaking to a yearning that is deep and real and he has credibility on it and that is the absolute enormous consultation of wealth in a small group of people with a middle class now being able to be shown being left out. There used to be a basic bargain. If you contributed to the profitability of enterprise, you got to share the profit. That’s been broken. Productivity is up. Wages are stagnant.

BORGER: But Hillary’s talking about that –

BIDEN: but it’s relatively new for Hillary to talk about that. Hillary’s focus has been other things up to now and that’s been Bernie’s — no one questions Bernie’s authenticity on those issues.
