2. Do you think that the Democratic Party is the party of the American working class?

The Democrats, to a much-too-great degree, are separated from working families. Are the Democrats 10 times, 100 times, better on all of the issues than the Republicans? They surely are, but I think it would be hard to imagine if you walked out of here or walked down the street or went a few miles away from here and you stopped somebody on the street and you said, "Do you think that the Democratic Party is the party of the American working class?" People would look at you and say, "What are you talking about?"

The American working class is not supposed to be heard.

We should be grateful for what we have.

Bernie is the first true Democrat in a long time.
