Sanders: I Will Not Attack Hillary Clinton

DICKERSON: “Hillary Clinton, when I spoke to her last week, said she had ‘no interest in attacking you.’ You have said you won't attack her. Do you take her at her word?”
SANDERS: “Well, I certainly do. And I hope that that will be the case. Look, I think one of the reasons our campaign is doing well is, we are focusing on the real issues that impact the middle class and working families of this country, the decline of the middle class, income and wealth inequality, climate change, a corrupt campaign finance system, affordability of college, et cetera, et cetera. That is what I do. I happen to have known -- know Hillary Clinton for the last 25 years. I respect her. I admire her. I'm not going to get into the business of attacking her. I have never run a negative political ad in my life. Ask the people of Vermont, and they will tell you a lot of very ugly ads have been run against me. I have never run a negative ad in my life. So, I hope that, in this campaign, we can have a civil discourse, discussing our differences of opinion, which are many, on the important issues facing our country. I think that is what the American people want us to do.”
DICKERSON: “What about her super PAC ads? Do you think that her promise extends to those?”
SANDERS: “Well, I would certainly hope so.”
DICKERSON: “Let me ask you one, then, final quickly, before -- we have about 20 seconds. What is status of the debates? You would like to see more of them. Is there any chance there are going to be more Democratic debates?”
SANDERS: “I have the feeling that there will be. I think debates are a good way for candidates to differentiate their differences. I think it's good for the American people. I think it promotes a serious discussion in our democracy. And I would like to see more of them.”
