senator bernie sanders. i will say that you are the opposite end of the spectrum from donald trump. we see him leading right now in the republican party in an intractable way. you are the only person who talks about the kinds of things that might be driving people to support him in such large numbers in the republican party. that number line wraps around in a way that gives you a real opportunity to address the kinds of things that are really going wrong with this campaign. good luck, sir. thank you. we ll be right back.
