Sanders: Clinton Was the ‘Anointed Candidate’ and Won by Two-Tenths of a Percent

ROSE: “Here is what Hillary Clinton said — Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager said in a memo: ‘The reality is that Sanders needed a decisive victory in Iowa in order to have a viable path to the nomination.’ They are saying that because you did not win in Iowa, where you had a constituency that should have been for you that you do not have a viable candidacy.”
SANDERS: “Is that what they say? They started off 50 points ahead. They started off as the anointed candidacy and they ended up winning by two-tenths of one percent, and they are worried about my campaign? Look, Charlie, the issues we are talking about, which is a rigged economy where people are working longer hours for low wages and almost all income and wealth is going to the top 1 percent — we are talking about a corrupt campaign finance system where billionaires and Super PACs are buying elections. Those are the issues that resonated in Iowa, they are resonating in New Hampshire, they are resonating all over this country. The American people, frankly, are tired of establishment politics, establishment economics. That’s why we have the momentum.”
