Bernie Sanders Super Tuesday speech and Vermont victory (VIDEO) Transcript


Bernie Sanders came out early. He was declared the victor in Vermont on poll closing. Sanders pointed out the Super Tuesday reality. He will collect hundreds of delegates.

Sanders gave a very upbeat speech. He showed that he is intent on contesting the race. He won in Minnesota, Vermont, Colorado, and Oklahoma. He came close in Massachusetts but ultimately lost. It should be noted that inasmuch as the entire Democratic Party is against him, he is making headway.

Bernie Sanders pointed out that after Super Tuesday, only 15 states would have voted. He said he will take his message to all fifty states.

The Sanders campaign released the following.

ESSEX JUNCTION, Vt. – Bernie Sanders won Tuesday’s presidential primary in Vermont by a landslide and told 4,000 supporters chanting “Feel the Bern!” at a hometown victory party that he is in the race to stay through the Democratic National Convention in July.

“By the end of tonight we are going to win many hundreds of delegates,” Sanders said after polls closed in Vermont and as results were still coming in from other states across the country. Altogether, 11 states were holding primaries or caucuses on Super Tuesday.

Sanders and his wife, Jane, cast their ballots at a Ward 7 polling place in Burlington, Vermont, the city where he first won elected office as mayor. “This is a campaign that is going to the Philadelphia convention in July,” he told reporters as he left the polling place in a community center.

It is evident that Sanders is playing by his own rules. He has 42 million dollars from millions of Americans to get his message out. The establishment is against him. Millions are with him.
