A sit down with DNC Chair Howard Dean about Sanders' path forward

Posted: Sat 9:09 AM, Mar 14, 2020 | Updated: Sat 9:17 AM, Mar 14, 2020

SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden are set to debate health care on Sunday.


It will be a tough road for Sanders to win the nomination - he performed poorly on the last two Super Tuesdays and is now behind in the delegate count.

Roger Garrity spoke with former Vermont Governor and DNC Chair Howard Dean about Sanders' chances and why Dean doesn't think the campaign matters much anymore.

Garrity: Governor Dean, thank you for being with us today. Obviously the coronavirus has gotten most of the headlines of late, but we are in a really critical juncture of the presidential campaign and we have been closely watching Bernie Sanders. Is he at the end of the road?

Dean: I mean that's up to him. He's going to decide when he's at end of the road. I have to say that I think he's done a great job this week. Um, he doesn't want to give up. I totally get that. If I said, in an interview this week, that if I were him I'd be doing exactly the same thing, but there's a lot more positive tone in his voice. He's made it clear that he is going to support Joe Biden and what he wants. An exchange is something that I hope he gets. Cause I, I'm, you know, job wise, a little more conservative than I am and I want the, I want, if he's going to leave, which I mean, if this continues, he's obviously is, I want his platform, a lot of pieces of his platform to be adopted.

1. So many words...

... but what is he saying? Is that an actual quote?

2. Except Sanders lied again. He is attacking and undermining Biden.

There is not one positive note about Sanders and certainly nothing positive or supportive of Joe in his new ad.

So over Sanders and his divinity tour.

3. It is difficult to trust him or his movement

with very good reason

6. Are you

really undecided? If so, why?

4. I'm sorry, what?

"Cause I, I'm, you know, job wise, a little more conservative than I am and I want the, I want, if he's going to leave, which I mean, if this continues, he's obviously is, I want his platform, a lot of pieces of his platform to be adopted."

8. How do you demand concessions when you're getting the brake beat off of you?

9. The only benefit of a more Left wing platform, is for Republicans, to create ads off it. It's what

you are able to do, when you have the power, that counts.
