    1. California isn’t being added to the total yet (unsure why) He has won the most delegates!!!! : )

    2. Hey Sanders, your under 30 crowd let you down, man! Don’t you know that you can’t depend on an entitled indulged participation trophy wielding kid to do anything right?

    1. I hope Bernie wins the nomination, Trump beating Biden in the debates and the November election would be like shooting fish in a barrel and Joe’s supporters wouldn’t be that surprised or upset to see Joe lose. Trump beating Bernie, on the other hand, would be a lot more fun to watch during the debates and when Trump beats Bernie in the general election Bernie’s supporters will GO NUTS! Crying, protests, riots maybe, NOW THAT WILL CERTAINLY BE ENTERTAINING AND FUN TO WATCH!!!! LOVE THOSE LIBERAL TEARS!

    1. MSNBC will only allow those who subscribe to their website or pay for TV subscriptions to view the whole interview. This is not a problem generated by YouTube.

    2. Yes, this is rude! With all the campaign hubbub we generally hear only sound bytes from Bernie. Rachel put herself out on a limb to challenge her colleagues to do a Round Table discussion with Sanders and Biden. Biden has not yet responded to her invitation for a one on one…but this interview with Bernie offers him air time rarely gets from the corporate media, and offers the public a little more than sound bytes to comprehend his vision of leadership…why crumble this great discussion up into little pieces when we could see the whole thing???

    1. @E. E. I think he’s past early stages, at this point making joe run just looks like elder abuse

  1. Bernie is speaking that Marrin Luther King, Poor People’s Campaign! I love it! This is what the people want! He has the support of this Black Woman! Bernie 2020!

    1. The whole world needs Bernie Sanders, a man with compassion and integrity. He cares about everyone, not just fat cat cronies.

    2. @sulema leon Anything that depends on Government funding, and turns people away from personal responsibility to pay their own bills, is Socialism. Anybody who thinks Socialism is the answer is a thief, a murderer and a liar.

  2. Biden wants to keep things the way they are. He said so himself, that nothing is going to change.

    1. No he didn’t say that . Plus it isn’t true. He wants to add a public option to the ACA. You may not agree with that approach and that’s fine but it isn’t keeping things the way they are.

      Actually it’s following the precedents set forth when Medicare and Social Security were originally passed into law. Both programs needed changes and were changed accordingly later on. Obama’s administration admitted changes would be needed for the ACA. The difference now is we have a totally obstructive GOP and people have forgotten that even a new plan like M4A will be discovered to need changes also after it’s been put into practice.

      Plus we seem to forget that many doctors now refuse to treat Medicare patients. They cannot be forced to practice medicine either and I’ve not heard Bernie or Elizabeth Warren or anyone else say how they plan to address that. If not careful, we could initiate a serious shortage of doctors. And there are other considerations Bernie never addresses:our own culpability with sedentary lifestyles, poor eating habits, out of control mass shootings, opioid addiction, etc etc, etc. Bernie makes it sound simpler than it is. Many of the other countries he sites do not have these same challenges to consider.

    2. Bernie is a Marxist.. has been all his life. You’re just too dumb to understand what change he wants. Communist Revolution and mass poverty with authoritarianism.

    3. @User – 14 But the thing is that idea is the “comfortable plan”, but let’s be real, things will change no matter how much you try to oppose that idea, being a “conservative” is really one of the dumbest thing on earth. I don’t know what’s your actual stand on this matter tho, and I respect whatever opinion you have still

  3. WHY IS ALL WEALTH GOING TO THE TOP, its insane. Only strong social programs can reverse this.

    1. It’s not… It’s going to people who work. Bernie wants to take what others have.. Not build his vision from the ground up.

  4. You can tell Bernie wants to blow the roof off but knows if he shows any emotion he will be labeled as a big meanie.

    1. @Roberto Waschk I mean I wouldn’t say he would destroy trump in the debate stage trump is a aggressive debater that talks smack

    2. @Nb B182 Lots of reasons to dislike Bernie, but his health is not one of them. Its 2020, getting a stint doesn’t mean a death sentence. In fact, with diet and exercise you can reverse heart disease. My Mother had a quadruple bipass in 1998 and she changed her lifestyle and lived a very healthy life till 2016, and then she was diagnosed with Lymphoma. Her heart wasn’t even an issue. Joe Bidens mental state is a far worse medical issue. He has dementia. There’s no question about it. And he won’t even let us know who he picked for a VP and the rest of the cabinet so we can see who would actually be running things. Because Biden doesn’t know if he’s coming or going. And even his staff said he gets a little murkey in the afternoons. The President can’t be mentally stable in the morning and then lose his marbles after lunch. Bernie at least has all his marbles and is sharp as a whistle. I don’t think Biden is going to make it 4 years. McCain did the same thing and turned out he had a brain tumor. Biden needs a head scan ASAP. That being said, he’s still better than Trump, but I wouldn’t put him on stage with Trump.

    3. @Jason Huffman you mean Bernie who wanted closed boarders 4 years ago and now has changed his tune. Come on you can find many things hes a rich politician doing what politicians do trying to get votes. Didn’t turn out so well the last week now did it. Keep hearing about this movement but when all the votes aren’t being split up he didn’t even win the popular vote

    1. @Me Of course not everything. And of course not all motivation is profit motivation. But captialism is the best way to bring new ideas to the people. That is Econ 101. You are free to disagree but Im not saying anything outrageous here. This is the basic argument for captialism.

    2. ​@Kristin Aldridge ok I got mixed up my mistake. what do you mean by “America” – do you mean the people or the government? also what do you mean Conservative or conservative?

    1. @Missile Man name a more active credible reporter . fake fox news reporters are not real reporters because fox news company is registered as entertainment , not news. Google it

    2. @Joseph Guzman She is a serial liar…..Russia! Russia! Russia! The entire network has an agenda…and it isn’t objectivity………I’m done with this thread….

  5. it’s evident a lot of people are not use to hearing the truth and facts from politicians . I’m old I’m black and I support Bernie Sanders

    1. @Steve Xyz America is on it’s way to being 3rd world the rich are too greedy and so are the corporations

    1. @Tonya Tipton you’d do better if you discuss policies and congressional history , Have you noticed the banks and corporations love Joe Biden

    2. @Sarah McCoy where are you getting these numbers ? Joe looked like a loser until tuesday , if not for his corporate buddies he’d be broke meanwhile Bernie is running on donations from people like me

  6. I hope when Bernie talks about the corporate media Rachel feels a bit ashamed of how she contributes to the destruction of American democracy

    1. Atleast she flew to Vermont to see him , and take the time to sak him hard ball questions. Biden will not be on her show because he doesn’t have the balls
