1. Jane, No Tax Returns Until Clinton Transcripts; Bernie Won't Drop Out of Race, *MORE IMPT. ISSUES

"JANE SANDERS: NO BACK TAX RETURNS UNTIL CLINTON RELEASES TRANSCRIPTS, SAYS BERNIE SANDERS WILL NOT DROP OUT OF RACE", CNN, ktvz, April 26, 2016.

- CLIP.

WASHINGTON (CNN), ktvz.com - Bernie Sanders and Jane Sanders won't release their back tax returns until Democratic rival Hillary Clinton releases the transcripts of her Wall Street speeches, Jane Sanders said Tuesday afternoon. Bernie Sanders has repeatedly called on the Clinton campaign to release her speeches in an effort to show she's aligned with powerful Wall Street interests. But he has been slow to answer Clinton's demand to release his tax returns, saying in a CNN debate earlier this month that his wife handles their financial affairs and has been too busy campaigning.
The Sanders made public their 2014 return the next evening, showing they earned nearly $206,000 and paid about $28,000 in federal taxes that year.
Asked Tuesday when the campaign plans to issue prior years' returns, Jane Sanders told CNN's Wolf Blitzer they will wait to see whether Clinton will disclose her transcripts.

She quickly pivoted back to her main talking point: That the issues her husband has raised should be at the center of the campaign. With Bernie Sanders' chances of winning the nomination slipping away,
*Jane Sanders promised the political revolution will continue beyond the Democratic convention in July.
*"What his agenda is the future of the Democratic Party and the future of our nation," she said on "Wolf," citing the nation's high level of child poverty and the cost of college. *"It's very important that the issues that Bernie is talking about are carried forward and he is intending to do that. Winning the presidency is not enough."
Jane Sanders, however, dismissed Donald Trump's suggestion that her husband run as an independent if he doesn't secure the nomination. She said Clinton and Bernie Sanders have more that unite them than divide them.
*Noting that 10 states have yet to vote, Jane Sanders said her husband will not drop out. But they will support the eventual nominee and continue talking about key issues to American voters.

2. Jane, Bernie Will Not Run As An Independent, Electoral Process Today is Not Democratic, Needs Reform

- CLIP.

Segment of the interview when Jane states Bernie will Not run as an Independent as Trump tweeted, and that we cannot afford a Republican in the White House or a Republican appointing Supreme Court Justices.
Bernie's political revolution, the political revolution that millions of people are a part of will be a force to be reckoned with not just in the presidential race but in the down ticket areas as well.
Jane emphasized that one of the things they will be fighting for on the platform whether Bernie's elected or not is electoral reform. People are being shut out when they're excited. Hundreds of thousands have not been able to vote, not to mention the voting irregularities.

This process needs to change, we need an open electoral system, same day registration and open primaries. It's not just party registration issues, we knew the rules and aren't complaining like Trump. The concern is that's it's shortsighted, and not good for democracy.
When people are excited about the political process we want them to participate and keep them involved in the process. The system today is not good for democracy, and we're going to work very hard to change it.
