So much conventional wisdom everywhere you turn. Group think.

You'll hear it here, too.

Matthews is interviewing some nobody-pundit about the youth vote and asks a good question: Why is Bernie's message resonating with young people and not old?

Can you guess what she replied?

Well, young people are idealistic something something (then returned to idealistic).

Thank you, Miss Vapid, for that conventional analysis.
