Jane Sanders: ‘I don’t understand why Bernie supporters aren’t backing Hillary

“That I know we’ve all said over and over again you have to vote against the Republican — this is different. Donald Trump is a different kind of Republican.” Jane Sanders at the DNC

“I guess, you know, I don’t understand. Democracy is not always chapter and verse, written out in advance. I mean, people are passionate, but they’re positive.” “One of the hardest meetings for me was going to meet with all of our delegates. There were 2,000 people there, and they were so upset that Bernie was not winning, not going to win, and was going to endorse, again, but people said they were booing you, did you lose control of your supporters? No, we never wanted control of our supporters, we wanted to engage them in the political process and they’re passionately feeling that and that’s OK.”

“And that’s not just coming from us, it’s coming from the Republican core. So I think it is a very pivotal election,”  “We just had 7½ years of President Obama really making some significant change in the country for the better. And to protect his legacy and move and pass all of the platform agenda issues that we won by working very, very hard, and the higher education plan and the health-care plan, the only way that is going to happen is if a Democrat is in the White House. So we have to be supporting Hillary.”

“But one of the things that Bernie did right from the beginning was say it was a two-pronged approach,” she said. “One was a quest for the presidency, one was to begin a political revolution and transform this country. He came very close to the presidency, and now the political revolution continues.”
