After Trump Victory, Many Bernie Sanders Supporters Say ‘I Told You So’
Sanders says he was not shocked by Donald Trump’s victory. But he says the election results show it is time for the Democratic Party to undergo a fundamental reassessment.
“I think it’s time for a fundamental reassessment,” Sanders tells NPR’s Robert Siegel, “and I think what that reassessment has got to entail is to understand that we cannot have a party that will win, if we continue to become dependent on big money interests and campaign fundraisers all over this country.”
