Jane Sanders: "If Bernie Loses, We'll Form a New Organization" [View all]

http://readersupportednews.org/news-section2/318-66/36646-focus-jane-sanders-qif-bernie-loses-well-form-a-new-organizationq

Bernie Sanders only sees a "narrow path to victory," and his wife, Jane Sanders, has now said the "political revolution" will continue after his campaign. In an interview with "The Rachel Maddow Show," Jane spoke about what Bernie plans to accomplish if he fails to win the nomination.

"What we really want to do is change the agenda of the Democratic Party."


Maddow asked Jane if she sees an "organization being formed out of the Sanders-centered movement that's sprung up around his campaign" if Bernie loses the nomination.

"That's always been the intent. Right from the beginning, it's been a two prong approach: run for president--and the most important thing is not electing Bernie president--the most important thing is starting a political revolution. Bernie said that since the day he announced.

... If he's not the nominee and he's not the president, then that becomes even more important."
