If I cant make it and were going to try as hard as we can until the last vote is cast we want to completely revitalize the Democratic Party and make it a party of the people rather than one of large campaign contributors, Sanders said in an interview on the progressive Web show The Young Turks.
Sanders also listed policy demands he would make of Clinton, including a single-payer health care system, a $15 an hour minimum wage, tougher regulation of the finance industry, closing corporate tax loopholes and a vigorous effort to address climate change.
I am very worried. I mean, I talk to these scientists. This planet is in serious danger. You cant cuddle up to the fossil fuel industry youve got to take them on, Sanders said, alluding to Clintons ties to oil and gas companies.
He also expressed concern about Clintons consistency on policy issues.
What we need is to create a movement which holds elected officials accountable and not let them flip on issues, Sanders said.

(14,255 posts)She will literally say ANYTHING - even if it is a complete reversal of what she said the day before - in order to get elected.
So, methinks Bernie would sincerely mean well, but his supporters just would not buy anything Hillary is selling. That would be madness.
And, if the GOP successfully installs Kasich - the GOP would all turn out for a relatively bland SEEMING white guy, and would also turn out to vote against Hillary.
