Partial excerpt:

"Of the 25 states with the highest levels, 17 have held primaries so far — and Hillary Clinton has won 16 of those contests.

When asked why he thinks he's losing in those states, Sanders responded, "Well, because poor people don't vote. I mean, that's just a fact."

In an interview airing on NBC's "Meet the Press" this Sunday, Sanders described voter turnout among low-income Americans as "a sad reality of American society, and that's what we have to transform."

He credited his campaign with working to bring more young people into the voting process. He explained that they have "had some success with lower income people. But in America today, in the last election in 2014, 80% of poor people did not vote.""

- In reality, he's done enough to be a major player at convention, having a say in platform, getting a keynote speech. - ty97 Apr 25, 06:57 2
  - It's time for him to step aside and for the democrats to focus on the White House. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 25, 07:01 1
    - I agree and I think he's been dropping some hints about doing what he needs to do to ensure Hillary wins the general - ty97 Apr 25, 07:04
