Sanders: ‘Once the Word Gets out Who I Am,’ We’ll Do ‘Just Fine’ in Nevada and S.C.

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
SHARPTON: "Thank you, senator Sanders."
SANDERS: "Well, it’s great to be with you, reverend."
SHARPTON: "You had a great victory last night."
SANDERS: "We did."
SHARPTON: "And you are now moving in to Nevada, and South Carolina. How do you intend, because clearly New Hampshire and Iowa are mostly white states, if not lily 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 voters 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 wandful of banks with incredible economic and political power. And you know what teddy roos belt, good Republican would have done today if he were here? He’d break them up and that’s what we’ve got to do. Second of all economically you’ve got 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 pollages and universities tuition free. We need to create jobs. We need to ask the wealthy and the powerful to start paying their fair share of taxes. I think we have an economic agenda that makes sense. In Nevada where you have a large Latino community we are working very, very hard on immigration reform. On a path toward citizenship through comprehensive immigration reform. So I think we have the agenda. In Nevada and I think we have the agenda in South Carolina. That once the word gets out, who I am, what we stand for, we’re going to do just fine."
