Sanders will be on Rachel's show for the full hour tonight (so much for media blackout).

30. She needs to ask substantive questions about his policies.

I think asking questions about taxes and such is irrelevant, it will just go in circles. What she needs to really ask is direct policy questions and what transpired during the campaign.

For example:

1. You say you don't believe in incrementalism when it comes to climate change, yet during the debates you contradicted yourself saying it will not take a day to completely leave nuclear energy. How can you propose a "day 1" change bypassing bureaucracy?

2. Through innuendo, you claim that Hillary is beholden to big banks, yet when asked to give an example, you couldn't. However, in your own words, you claim to have soften your position against the NRA to win an election. Is that not an example of changing your views for political gain, which you accuse Hillary of?

3. If we were to have free public colleges and government funded healthcare, how much do you expect the average American to pay in increased taxes? How will your policy decrease the USA debt rather than increasing it?

4. You have said several times in your life how you don't believe in the democratic party and your beliefs do not align with the party and as early as 2015 you confess to using the party for media exposure. In addition, you refuse to raise money for down ballot democrats and criticize Hillary for doing so..why are you running as a democrat?

5. You claim from the get go that your campaign will be only about issues/policies, Why has your campaign change from expressing progressive ideas to maligning the character of Ms. Clinton?

6. The DNC has NEVER gone against the will of the people. In fact, during the 2008 primaries Hillary won several states at the last stretch and actually won the popular vote ahead of Obama. Now, Weaver tells us that he will use that "momentum" argument and turn superdelegates against Clinton. Why do you think the DNC should break their long standing rule and go against the nominee with the most pledge delegates and the most votes (including Trump)?
Bernie will say "the polls" and hypotheticals- Then Rachel can ask, is it not true that Hillary has been vetted for 25 years and her character has been attacked by the republicans and recently your very own campaign relentlessly? You are new to the public arena and have not been vetted regarding your policies and affiliations. As such, is it not true that hypothetical general elections polls are irrelevant?

7. How do you feel that your stump speech against Hillary is being used by Trump? How do you feel that Trump wants you to run as an independent to simply divide the party?
