Sanders After Crushing S.C. Defeat: ‘I Think We Can Win This Thing’

STEPHANOPOULOS: "We’re joined now by Bernie Sanders. He joins us this morning. Thank you for joining us, Senator Sanders. Appreciate you being with us this morning. So what do you make of what happened in South Carolina last night. Nearly a 50 point win for Senator Clinton — Secretary Clinton."
SANDERS: "We got decimated, George. We got decimated. The only positive thing for us is we won the actually — the 29 years of age and younger vote. And that was good. But we got killed. But I’m in Minnesota now. We think we’re going to do very well in Minnesota on Super Tuesday, Colorado we’re going to do well, Oklahoma we’re going to do well. I think we’re going to win in Massachusetts. And I believe we’re going to win in Vermont. And we’re going to do better than people think in other states. George, we began this campaign, as you know, at 3 percent in the polls, 60 or 70 points behind Secretary Clinton. We have come a very long way. Our message about a rigged economy — rich get richer, everyone else gets poorer — is resonating. And I’ll tell you what else is resonating, a corrupt campaign finance system that’s allowing billionaires to buy elections. I think we have the momentum. I think it’s going to be a tough fight. I think we can win this thing."
