Meet the Press: Bernie Sanders: Voters Will Contrast My 'Consistency' With Hillary Clinton
Speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press," Sanders listed a number of progressive stances he had held from the start, that Clinton only recently came around to — opposition to the Keystone Pipeline and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, in particular.
Voters will have to "contrast my consistency and my willingness to stand up to Wall Street and corporations, big corporations, with the secretary," he said.
The presidential hopeful said "we can do a little better than Obamacare," suggesting he'd "build on" the law by offering Medicare for all Americans.
"Now, do I think the Republican speaker of the House will agree with me? No, I don't think so," Sanders said.
He suggested, though, he can overcome that by using the bully pulpit to galvanize voters.
And the second was that "you have to be prepared to mobilize people to take on these big money interests." Sanders says his campaign, because of its groundswell of grassroots support, can become the movement to force policy change that President Obama never enjoyed during his time in office.
"I think we can do it. And I think that's what the bully pulpit is about. And that's what organizing effort's about. And that's what this campaign is about," he said.
