We're going to rally the American people in Kentucky. We're going to rally the American people in Mississippi. We're going to rally the people in South Carolina to demand that their representatives -- I know this is a radical idea -- actually do what the American people want. ... The ideas that I talk about are ideas that the American people want. They don't get it because you got a Congress indebted to wealthy campaign contributors. ... These are not radical ideas, but we need to rally the American people by the millions. That's what I mean by a political revolution."

Keep your bags packed, people. You'll be traveling a lot during a Bernie presidency.
