Sanders: Once the Word Gets Out ... We’re Going To Do Just Fine’ in Nevada and S.C.

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SHARPTON: "You are now moving into Nevada and South Carolina. How do you intend, because clearly New Hampshire and Iowa are mostly white states if not literally white, how do you intend now to deal with a diverse populous in both south Carolina and Nevada?"
SANDERS: "Well, in a couple of ways. First of all, we are going to do well when voter turnout is high. That’s what happened in new Hampshire and actually happened in Iowa as well. And I think we have the issues, we have the agenda, we have the ground troops to rally the people of Nevada and south Carolina. And I think it comes down to two things. Number one, it comes down to what we believe and what we are fighting for economically and what we’re fighting for in terms of social justice and criminal justice. In terms of economics, the people of Nevada as well as any state in this country know what Wall Street has done to them. They were devastated by the wall Street crash. And our view is that at the end of the day it is time for the American people to tell wall Street enough is enough. You have a handful of banks with incredible economic and political power, you know what teddy Roosevelt good Republican would have done if he were here, break them up. That’s what we have to do. You have to raise the minimum wage to a living wage, 15 bucks an hour. Third of all, we need health care in the United States for all people as is the case in every other industrialized country. Fourth, we need to make public colleges and universities tuition free. We need to create job. We need to ask the wealthy and the powerful to start paying their fair share of taxes. We have an economic plan that makes sense. We are working very, very hard on immigration reform, path to citizenship. We have the agenda in Nevada and South Carolina that once the word gets out, who I am, what we stand for, we’re going to do just fine."
