TRANSCRIPT SNIP:

Newly declared presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders said today he hopes to lead a "political revolution" for working families and against money in politics in his bid for the White House.

"I think I'm the only candidate who's prepared to take on the billionaire class," Sanders, I-Vt., told ABC's George Stephanopoulos on "This Week." "We need a political revolution in this country involving millions of people who are prepared to stand up and say, enough is enough, and I want to help lead that effort."

Sanders, who will run in the Democratic primary against Hillary Clinton, told ABC's Jonathan Karl earlier this week the millions of dollars flowing into the Clinton Foundation poses a "very serious problem."

"It's not just Hillary. It's the Koch Brothers. It is Sheldon Adelson," he said, referring to billionaire backers of conservative causes and candidates. "Can somebody who is not a billionaire who stands for working families actually win an election?"

Sanders could challenge Clinton from her left. He opposed the Iraq War, which Clinton supported in the Senate, and is against Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement, which the Obama administration is trying to get through Congress.

Clinton fully supported TPP as secretary of state but has raised reservations about it since announcing her presidential bid.

"Hillary Clinton has been part of the political class for many, many years," Sanders said. "I respect her and I like her, but I think what the American people are saying, George, is ... maybe it's time for a real political shakeup in this country."

He has raised more than $1.5 million since announcing his campaign on Thursday, but has pledged not to have a Super PAC that could accept unlimited contributions.

A self-described socialist who won his first election to become mayor of Burlington, Vermont, by just 10 votes, Sanders has a message for his doubters.

"Very few people thought that I would beat an incumbent Republican to become United States congressman from Vermont by 16 points," Sanders said. "And people weren't so sure I could beat the richest person in Vermont to become a United States senator.

"Don't underestimate me," he added.

1. "Don't underestimate me," he added.

4. I think what he said is true....He knows that America is at a Breaking Point with

Funding for Wars...More Wars...Endless Wars....and it is Draining the Resources of Americans and Families Stressed by All of it!

He's looking at our "Bottom Line" ......How can we go on draining our Economy for the Ambitions of a Wealthy, Entitled Few who want to REMAKE THE GLOBE in the Interests of Corporate Greed to Mine Resources from the Rest of the World with these wars and "Threats of War" and Globilization Trade Agreements that do Nothing but make the Wealthy...More Wealth!

Bernie knows. And I love that his 80 Year Old Brother is running on the Green Party Ticket in Great Britain!

Voices from the Past....Voices for the Future......CUTTING THROUGH THE WALL STREET CRAP! And, Hillary Believes the Wall Street Crap....or she is CLUELESS!

2. The big question is Bernie ready to take on the requirements of the office of presidency.

Hillary is ready to take on the corporations.
Hillary is ready to do somethin about income inequality.
Hillary is ready to do something about getting the minimum wage increased.
Hillary is ready to get some jobs programs started.
Hillary is ready to get better education for the youth.
Hillary is ready for women's issues.
Hillary is ready to get Citizens United.
Hillary is ready to handle national security issues.
Hillary has lots of foreign experience.
Hillary is ready.

[Gregorian]

3. Maybe. But I would trust Bernie on those issues far greater given his 100% track record.

Just look at who Bernie wants for Sec of Treasury: Robert Reich.

Bernie is going to surround himself with the best of the best.

6. This sounds vaguely familiar

A tired old line:

[Thinkingabout]

7. How about presenting your candidate and record for being able to handle all areas

Of being president rather than riding on Hillary's back. If they win they will not be able to continue this path.

[davidpdx]

8. You are the one that repeated the same tired old non-sense, not me

My point is maybe people are getting tired of that kind of tone.

[Thinkingabout]

9. Does your candidate have qualifications?

[davidpdx]

10. What candidate do you speak of?

Do you see where I have chosen a candidate? I haven't. It's called a primary for a reason. I have the right to choose any candidate at any time or criticize any candidate at any time (including regurgitated bullshit being fed by certain people, which is exactly what you did and got called on). This is my party as well.

[Thinkingabout]

11. Gotcha ya, I don't feel called on anything, I thought it would be a good time to show other

candidates qualifications but I see this is not going to happen.

[davidpdx]

12. You didn't get me on anything, I don't have a candidate yet I'm waiting to see what other

candidates enter the race before declaring it over unlike some people are. All you are doing is making an ass of yourself demanding things of people (again typical rhetoric).

[Thinkingabout]

13. Nothing new here. Same old same old.

5. Bernie!!
