Jane can handle Andrea but msnbc will spin spin spin spin.

Would her husband support Clinton if she became the candidate?
I think both of them will support the other, said Mrs. Sanders.
Her husbands temperament has also come under scrutiny. When asked if she had ever advised him to take it down a notch, Mrs. Sanders said, No, no, no.
I think everybody has seemed annoyed at times, she added. I remember Secretary Clinton looking quite angry. I think were talking about important issues that affect peoples lives. 25 percent of our children in America live in poverty. Yeah, thats something to be angry about. Climate change is real, and the fossil fuel industry is pouring tons and tons of money into campaign contributions. Thats something to be angry about.
You look: 18,500 people in the South Bronx last week. Nobody was worried about his temperament. They were wild about his ideas he was bringing forth and saying, We are with you, we are going to work for the same ideas.
When asked if her husbands success had surprised them bothgiven that early consensus seemed to favor a smooth coronation for ClintonMrs. Sanders replied: We knew that his ideas were mainstream American ideas. If he had a fair hearing we knew they would resonate. We were surprised at how fervently they have been embraced by young voters, and how many people who are disenfranchised voters: people who had given up on the system are coming back.
It has been humbling and quite an honor to have that kind of support and encouragement and commitment to the future. So I think we were surprised to that. We were more intellectually thinking they would resonate. We didnt realize emotionally how much they would resonate both for people and for us.
For Mrs. Sanders personally, the campaign has proven exhilarating and wonderful in terms of meeting so many people around the country, and learning about specific issuesshe cited Latinos, immigration, and Native Americansbut also in terms of understanding and hearing that the general issues that Bernie Sanders raises are, she said, issues of concern for all Americans.
