Sanders: ‘We Are in This Race to the Convention’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TODD: "Where are you going to win next? You’ve got — you can’t just come close. You’re right, you came close in Nevada. But to win you got to win. And super Tuesday, can you win a majority of the delegates on super Tuesday? You don’t have to win a majority of the states, but you need to win a majority of the delegates if you’re going to win this thing."
SANDERS: "Right. Well, we’re studying that issue very closely as to where we allocate our resources and allocate my time. I think we have a good shot in Colorado. A good shot in Minnesota. A good shot in Massachusetts. I think we are looking pretty good in Oklahoma. Last poll I saw my own state of Vermont had us at 80%. So I think we got a shot to win there. And I think we will surprise people in some other states as well."
TODD: "Don’t you have to beat her in a place like Texas or Virginia or Tennessee? A big state to say, you know what, I can win this nomination. I can’t just come close. Don’t you have to do that?"
SANDERS: "No, you’re right. Look, at the end of the day what you’re saying is true, you need delegates. As you know these are state by state proportional delegation — delegates go out. We’re looking hard at Michigan. We think we have a pretty good shot at parts of Texas. So trust me, we are focusing very hard on trying to get as many delegates as we can. But let me also say this. We are in this race to the convention. I think we got some states coming down the pike that we’re going to do very, very well in. I think, you know, if you look at national polling, our support is growing. So we think, Chuck, we have come a very, very long way. I think the first time I was on your show we were probably at 5% in the polls. We’re moving, we’re making progress."
TODD: "All right, Bernie Sanders, I know you’re in South Carolina this morning, but this race goes national in a hurry. Thanks for coming on. Stay safe on the trail, sir."
SANDERS: "Thank you."
