The Hill: Sanders jabs Koch brothers over Walker exit

"I wish the Koch brothers would say, ‘Well, gee, now we can take the $900 million that we planned to spend in this campaign supporting right-wing Republicans… and we’re not going to spend it,’” Sanders said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday. “But, John, I’m not sure that the Koch brothers learned that lesson.”

The self-identified Democratic socialist took Jeb Bush to task for saying people vote for “free stuff.”

“Well, let’s be clear that what Jeb Bush is proposing are massive tax breaks for the richest people in this country, while he will fight to cut social security and Medicare and programs that tens of millions of elderly people and middle-class people and working-class people depend upon,” Sanders said.

“I happen to believe, John, that in a democratic, civilized society, all people should be entitled to healthcare as a right – yeah, I do believe that.”

1. I love that man.

He's exactly what this country needs at this specific time! It's FATE that Bernie is who is he and chose to run for President when we needed him the most.

For the establishment (GOP and Dems who allowed us to get here), it's KARMA! What goes around comes around and you're about to have your greedy asses handed to you in a hand basket.

Bernie is one of those human beings who will go down in history as a Great Humanitarian. He's ranks right up there with Paul Wellstone, in my book.

Go Bernie!

2. Who talks like that?......Bernie does!

After years of mealy mouthed bullshit artists Bernie is a shock to the system.

3. Good for him! Of course, he knows they haven't learned their lesson

at all. They're just keeping control of the money in their hands this time. THAT they learned with their last 2 mega-millions losses. It's hard days for campaign pros who were shopping for their own 300-foot yachts.
