Bernie Sanders (Vt.).... “Today, with your help we can pull off one of the great political upsets in the history of our country,” Sanders said.

“We cannot and should not be trapped in perpetual warfare in the Middle East year after year after year,” he added....As he often does, Sanders noted that Americans are clamoring for “real change."
