by what they saw from senator sanders last night. first, the heart attack didn t come up as much as they perhaps expected and were prepared for going into this debate, but he also mentioned that we saw a side of senator sanders that we don t normally see on the television cameras. we saw senator sanders laughing, smiling, joking with the other candidates, and also had somewhat of that heartwarming or reflective moment as he thanked his other candidates there for their support as he was in the hospital and dealing with his heart attack. but if there s one thing the campaign was really trying to show yesterday, it s that bernie sanders is back and that he wants to be a force in this campaign. we saw that with the endorsements that were rolled out even before the debate ended. we learned that aoc, representative alexandria ocasio-cortez, is now going to be endorsing him at his big rally in new york on saturday. we have an endorsement from representative omar, and they also are celebrating
outreach and mobilize millions of people of working people who want to see a government that works for all of us and not just the 1%. who want to make sure that we eliminate racism and sexism in this country and islamophobia in this country and my job is to bring those people together to stand up and fight. senator sanders last night right here in washington, dc vowing to block any supreme court nominee they find to be unacceptable and of course, andrea mitchell will have much more of her interview coming up on andrea mitchell reports at noon. tens of thousands of iraqis are fleeing for their lives. stay with us. there s a moment of truth. and now with victoza® a better moment of proof. victoza lowers my a1c and blood sugar better than the leading branded pill,
senator sanders still i think is listed as an independent in the u.s. senate together with angus king of maine although they both caucus with the democratic party. does he now consider himself a full-fledged member of the democratic party? you have to ask my husband that. i am an independent. all right. i ll ask him the next time i speak with him ar that. clearly he must have influence in the democratic party. he ran for the democratic presidential nomination. he will. i mean he will have i m sure he will yeah. i want to play a little clip for you, jane. in my interview with senator sanders last night i i had this exchange with him, and i want to play that clip for you. listen to this. but it never crossed your mind that you might have done better against him? you might have actually won, if you had been the democratic nominee? what good does it do now?
we re moving special operation forces in there, that s a good thing. so that makes sense. but we definitely need more troops in there, yes, not in a combat role. in syria, we re not going to have troops on the ground in syria in any consequential way. we will not be able to put together an air coalition, shannon, until such time as we bring the war to an end in syria. they will not participate on the ground against isis until we do that. that is why so many observers are criticizing the administration for not establishing a safe zone, for not establishing no fly zones, which would move the war to a political termination in most of our viewpoints. that s what we need. and then you can put together an arab coalition to deal with isis, maybe even including the turks put skin in the game which they said they would do and limited u.s. participation of a few brigades. no one has been talking about large commitment of u.s. forces. so what i hear from you is you think it is the opposite stra
