Bernie Sanders (I-VT) have opposed from the start. President Obama has had key elements of his agenda blocked by conservatives in Congress. You are to the left of President Obama. “I know that the vice president is now saying this wasn’t true, but if you look at coverage, every news organization in America had sources close to him describing this”, said Baquet. You’ve said you are not a capitalist. “I do not support it today, I did not support it yesterday, and I will not support it tomorrow”, Sanders said.

Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, who has struggled to gain traction in the race, suggested that his rivals don’t have the executive experience needed to be president.
SAVANNAH GUTHRIE: The first time we’ve been able to say we’re feeling the Bern here in Studio 1A.
The two-time presidential hopeful reluctantly relinquished his lengthy-held political dream Wednesday, eradicating a probably sizable impediment to Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s nomination. Also, Hillary’s choices for Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General flamed out; she fired the White House travel office and then claimed no involvement; and hating the press (which she still does), she closed them off from the White House press secretary’s office, thus ruining an important relationship for quite a few time. And the reason for that is the enthusiasm that we are generating.
On the Defense of Marriage Act, signed by President Bill Clinton in 1996, Sanders said he was proud to be among the minority in Congress to oppose the now-defunct law restricting the federal definition of marriage to heterosexual couples.
Hillary Clinton has called her vote to authorize the war a “mistake”.
“I will make no bones about that”, he said. Two years later I kept my word.

GUTHRIE: But the subtext is, is that Hillary Clinton hasn’t picked up that fight where you have? That’s an apparent reference to comments by Sanders that people should “stop shouting at each other” about guns. So I’m glad that Hillary Clinton is moving in my direction.
LAUER: Let me talk about gridlock. Sanders said the campaign should focus on issues of more importance to middle-class and poor Americans.
With less than 100 days to go before the first actual votes of the 2016 presidential race are cast, the summer of the “outsider” has quickly become the autumn of the “outsider”.
GUTHRIE: Senator Sanders, you have all of us reaching into our high school textbooks to look up the definition of socialism versus democratic socialism versus capitalism. Rather than shy away from foreign policy, as the Democrats have as they compete for who can promise more new domestic spending and taxes on the rich, and who can create greater hysteria over global warming, the Republicans seem to understand that many American voters are uncomfortable with a shrinking American military, our seeming withdrawal from the world, and our diminished ability to protect American interests and project American power.
SANDERS: Well, I think our job is to make people aware that programs like Social Security, Medicare, the national park system, which is a wonderful system, are publicly owned programs.
