“Last Show” host Stephen Colbert on Thursday grilled Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) about his decision to remain in the 2016 race after admitting this week that Hillary Clinton would be the Democratic nominee.
“What is it you want?” Colbert asked in a taping on Thursday afternoon, hours before the Vermont senator was set to address supporters in New York City.
Saying he had no plan to drop out or endorse Clinton during his speech at Manhattan’s Town Hall, Sanders also brushed aside the suggestion that he was staying in the contest as a “negotiating tool” to influence the Democratic Party at the July convention.
“We want our 12 million supporters to be heard,” Sanders said.
In his speech Thursday evening, however, Sanders said he would seek key rule changes at the Philadelphia convention including opening all state primaries to independents and eliminating superdelegates.
“While we’re at it, we may as well transform the entire Democratic Party,” Sanders said, according to The Hill.
Watch a clip of his interview below.
Any sign of his tax returns?
Is it just me, or does Sanders looked a lot older than he did 1 year ago?
What he wants is obvious—he wants to be the nominee. Nothing else.
Damn, I can’t wait for the convention to be over. I am so very effing tired of seeing this man and hearing from this man. He won’t leave – yet he still has no intention of following through with his own promise to be honest with us and show us his full tax returns. He won’t endorse – and at this point, I find that a blessing. He wants to be heard. You have been heard, Senator. Can’t wait for us to relegate your ass to the back of the class.
First words from Bernie should be…" I don’t want Donald Trump President"…everything else is secondary…
I have been a Bernie supporter from the beginning, including financially. But now I’m disappointed in him. It’s time to endorse Hillary and campaign for her election.
