it s not necessarily about john mccain how they offend one another and offend republicans. you know, i m a big believer in reagan s 11th commandment. we shouldn t speak ill about other republicans. whether it s republican voters or other republicans running for president. that s one of the main things we need to focus on. donald was talking about religion a little bit this weekend. maybe that s why he s rejecting that 11th commandment. bernie sanders, you mentioned he showed up. he got over 10,000 people who came for him as well. is there something is there a commonality to what people are hungry for out there in your state? well, that s part of the reason why we do what we do in the republican party. we provide opportunities for voters to engage the presidential candidates. what other place could you have donald trump and bernie sanders attract the amount of people that they have all in the same week downtown phoenix. people are interested. they want to hear. they want to know w
73-year-old vermont senator. are some of these crowds surprised you? yes. they surely have. i have been delighted about, especially seeing the younger people out. the faces of sanders supporters are young and old. men and women. a lot of women. he speaks for the middle class. he s out telling the truth. ore others are searching for an at tifflternative hillary clinton. i think he s tied in to wall street. i thought she was too connected with washington. it s that sentiment that exclans why the clinton campaign isn t really worried. at least not yet. are they under estimating bernie sanders? people have often under estimated me. s i had liberal message is big and bold. we have a message tonight to the
last week or focussing on the failed immigration policies that the obama administration has really supported, you know whether it s the sanctuary city policies, the catch and release issues that we have now today. so, you know, i don t focus necessarily on what donald trump is saying all the time but what the voters are interested in talking about which is clearly immigration. so then it s not so much a trump fascination it s the issues that he s outraged about that you want to hear more about that he s become the proxy. that s what you re saying? yeah, i mean what else can draw 10,000 people in phoenix downtown, right? look we have lots of characters showing up to phoenix. we have bernie sanders did the same thing last week. and, you know, this is something that is really important to arizona voters. it has been. you know immigration to arizona is like if a presidential candidate is talking about fracking in north dakota. it s going to draw a lot of people, right. it s not nec
billionaire class. that message is you cannot have it all! on income inequality. we ve got to raise the minimum wage to a living wage $15 an hour! whether or not sanders wins the democratic nomination he s shaping the race. all of these supporters will become bargaining chips to keep progressive issues alive. no president none. no matter how good he or she may be can bring about the changes that we need desperately need in this country unless there is a political revolution. [ cheers and applause ] now the question for sanders is whether he can build that political revolution and become more than an insurgent candidate for the summer. for now hillary clinton remains the democratic front runner. and many people said she would be their second choice. allison? sure looks like it.
but, you know, some of the commentary that was made on senator mccain by donald trump was warmly received. i think it goes back to the arizona voters and arizonans being key in on the issues. i think that s one of the main reasons we had so many people there in phoenix last week. they were interested in hearing donald trump talk about immigration which i think would be any presidential candidate that came to down. you think that what he said about the p.o.w. that people took it in stride. he s angry at john mccain how he s dealing with the issue and it wasn t about veterans and p.o.w. s and disrespect. that s your take. i don t look at what donald trump says. i don t follow donald trump s twitter and hang on his every word and, you know. wouldn t it be wonderful if we spent as much time hanging on the words of let s say the woman of planted parenthood the
