Sanders predicted victory as he appeared with members of a transit workers union, before joining a picket line with communications workers striking against Verizon. 59% of Americans overall believe that the country “needs a political revolution”, and that belief is most apparent among the supporters of the two insurgent candidates – Sanders on the Democratic side and Donald Trump among Republicans.
“Mr. Trump wants to set Americans against each other”. “I think it’s a hard thing to do, when he’s standing there for two hours, to say he doesn’t know something about issues when he’s prepared to speak at some length and depth about a broad range of issues”.

He noted that primary turnout is usually low. “We need to rethink the status quo”. The newspaper called her a “superprepared warrior realist” who also understands the economic toll the country has faced, while labeling Sanders “utterly unprepared” with “politically impossible” goals. He’s expected to head overseas just after the pair debate Thursday night.
