Bernie Sanders was in central Iowa tonight

[kenn3d]

He does not want to talk about Hillary Clinton’s email situation, Donald Trump or any other "political gossip."

Article contains a good video interview with local TV reporter.

1. A short but most excellent interview. Welcome to DU kenn3d. Thank you for posting

2. Again, as a Clinton supporter, I have to give Senator Sanders props

He's on to the media game of trying to start a food-fight, trying to give Republicans ways to attack in the general, instead of focusing on the issues.

So even though I disagree with him on some of the issues, I deeply respect his conduct.

3. This is the sort of person who should be President.

Focused on challenges of governing rather than on political games.

4. That's one of the reasons I like him.

I'm not interested in political gossip, either. I just want to talk about issues.

The independent senator from Vermont says, “We should take the best ideas that exist all over the world.”

Many of those ideas, he says, come from countries like Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway and Germany, where many social democratic governments have done a lot of good.

“You know how much the cost of healthcare is? That’s right, zero. You know how much it costs to send you kid to college? Zero. You know what their rate of childhood poverty is compared to the United States? It is much lower,” Sanders said.

He continues to explain those European social democracies also have pay equity for women, government-supported childcare programs and strong infrastructure investment. All things he wants to bring to the U.S., but they do come at a cost.

“The wealthiest people in those countries and their largest corporations pay more in taxes,” Sanders said. “I think that we can learn something from those countries.”
