Sanders draws contrast with Warren: She says 'she is a capitalist through her bones; I'm not'

"There are differences between Elizabeth and myself," Sanders, I-Vt., said in an interview with ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl. "Elizabeth, I think, as you know, has said that she is a capitalist through her bones. I'm not."

You know time is running out when you think stating you're NOT a Capitalist will actually GAIN you votes.

I don't care.for the way he has to poison his opponents. This is the same as his Hillary playbook. He needs to run against Trump, not Warren.

She made this distinction very clear. She wanted to make it clear.

It’s an amazingly poor campaign move for Sanders to do this. He is known as the guy with the message but he is all over the map compared to previous years.

Is there any polling showing him losing support to the Greens or a different party? Is he even losing his base?

I am not interested in labels. It is splitting hairs. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders basically agree on everything. If Warren gets elected calling herself a capitalist, who gives a shit? I don't think Warren is interested in writing the Republican ads for them.

Sanders often points to Scandinavian countries as models, but these are mixed economies. They have markets along with state influence and strong safety nets. I'm sure Sanders doesn't really believe economics is a case of either/or, so why does his rhetoric have to be?
