Bernie Sanders, In Full: His Take On Clinton, Socialism And SuperPACs

NPR has an extended interview with Bernie over on their website.

This cut of his conversation with NPR's Steve Inskeep, recorded Nov. 4, sees Sanders sharpening his argument for why the Democratic nominee should be him and not Clinton, who enjoys huge advantages in the race.

He also offers a lengthy defense of the label "socialist," or more precisely, "democratic socialist" — the designation that has always made Sanders distinct, but that sharply limits his appeal, according to polls.

Sanders also talks about what it means to him to be Jewish. One remarkable moment comes when he rolls up his sleeve.

At the end comes this question: Is there a similarity between the crowds at Sanders' campaign events and the crowds flocking to see Donald Trump?
