Was suppose to be a blackout day for MSNBC but they held the townhall with Bernie and Hillary so all bets were off.
My mom is 88 years old, a Bernie supporter only because of the information I've been able to provide her. She watches MSNBC and CNN from morning until night. The amount of information she didn't know about Bernie is astounding. She also had no idea about much of the baggage Hillary carries, yet she knows every move Trump makes.
While Bernie's rally's are great, they exclude a big part of the votes he needs, the 60+ generation. Most cannot wait in line or at a venue 6 to 8 hours to hear him speak. I think he needs a better way of reaching out to those voters, possibly more on the ground surrogates.

For millennials - yes. But I think people 40+ watch the news, still pick up the newspaper.
