Related: About this forum*JANE SANDERS INTERVIEW ON MORNING JOE, MSNBC, Jan. 29
Yesterday morning Jane Sanders, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont joined show hosts Joe and Mika on MSNBC. Jane discussed Bernie's current campaign, his political career accomplishments and skills, and the aspirational, pragmatic message of his 2016 campaign that connects with Americans of all ages and backgrounds and why that is. She also commented on the recent Washington Post editorial on Sanders' positions.
In Jane, Bernie couldn't have a more articulate, intelligent and personable campaign asset and soulmate. She effectively explained the essence and strength of Bernie's progressive, populist platform and countered some of the inaccuracies. Bernie's bold vision stresses that we must work to improve our society and strengthen our democracy, we can do this together and united, and we must think big. It's a message that has caught fire and is motivating people across the US.
Central to Sanders bold vision is tackling major policies and systems, creating a better future and uplifting America, the greatest and richest country in the world. During the Great Depression Jane mentioned, FDR was also told 'it couldn't be done'. An impressive interview by Jane Sanders. And not surprising.

They're genuine and a great pair, soulmates as Bernie said. You can see it.

If Bernie can just convince Trump voters they are better off voting for Bernie Sanders!

Mika's voting for Bernie. I think both she and Joe managed a respectful interview. But, of course, they were dealing with a classy lady.

Hello!... I have a feeling there are going to be R's who vote for Bernie in the primary and beyond.
I don't like counting my money until it's in the bank, but I'm getting more confident with each one of these tidbits we hear.
Also, Jane dispels all the concerns people have about Bernie. This a must see video for every voter.

Thanks for posting. It was good to hear her tell what a good CEO Bernie was of the city of Burlington. He is a leader. No doubt about it.
