...the other night when Sanders once again proclaimed that he is not a Democrat? Look at the video below, beginning at about the 30 second mark.

Also, he played with the truth in that interview when he said politicians in Vermont don't declare a party affiliation as a quasi-rationalization of why he is an independent. In fact, Senator Pat Leahy has served Vermont for decades as a Democrat, Representative Peter Welch has served Vermont as a Democrat, and former Governor Peter Shumlin served Vermont as a Democrat. So, as President Clinton used to say, "that dog don't hunt".
