This was his answer, you tell me if he actually took a position on Glass-Steagall while standing next to Clinton.
SANDERS: Let us be clear that the greed and recklessness and illegal behavior of Wall Street, where fraud is a business model, helped to destroy this economy and the lives of millions of people.

Check the record. In the 1990s -- and all due respect -- in the 1990s, when I had the Republican leadership and Wall Street spending billions of dollars in lobbying, when the Clinton administration, when Alan Greenspan said, "what a great idea it would be to allow these huge banks to merge," Bernie Sanders fought them, and helped lead the opposition to deregulation.

Today, it is my view that when you have the three...
COOPER: Senator...
SANDERS: ...largest banks in America -- are much bigger than they were when we bailed them out for being too big to fail, we have got to break them up.
Sort of sounds like maybe he was against it in the 90's but it's hard to tell. You definitely couldn't tell by what he says what he'll do about it going forward. If you watched the debate you could tell it was 4 guys positioning for VP in a Hillary campaign.
Here's Hilldawg's response
Secretary Clinton, he raises a fundamental difference on this stage. Senator Sanders wants to break up the big Wall Street banks. You don't. You say charge the banks more, continue to monitor them. Why is your plan better?
CLINTON: Well, my plan is more comprehensive. And frankly, it's tougher because of course we have to deal with the problem that the banks are still too big to fail. We can never let the American taxpayer and middle class families ever have to bail out the kind of speculative behavior that we saw.
I'm going to just preempt any invitation with a no.
