In Journal editorial board meeting, Bernie Sanders highlights differences with Hillary Clinton

[Uncle Joe]

“It’s not just about electing Bernie Sanders as president,” Sanders told the Journal editorial board on Dec. 21. “We are trying to bring forth a political revolution by bringing in millions of people who have given up on American democracy and have become cynical.”

“We can’t do it the same old way with the number of issues facing the country,” Sanders said. “The difference between her and I is I am willing to take on the billionaire Super PACs.”

Sanders railed against Citizens United, the U.S. Supreme Court decision which allows unlimited campaign contributions by corporations. He said the decision has not only corrupted campaign fianances, but undermined democracy itself.

“Congress, the House is significantly controlled by large campaign donors,” Sanders said. “People want fair taxes, my Republican colleagues want large tax breaks for the wealthy, as an example.”

On issues like raising the minimum wage, Social Security and health care, Sanders said Congress is out of touch.

During his hourlong meeting with the Journal editorial board, Sanders also voiced his views on some key issues.
