Bernie should be the minimum standard of any elected official. He cares about the voters more than lobbyists.

[aperson]

it honestly brings me to tears to see this man fight to make this country a better place.

[johnchessant]

6:29 this is why I love Bernie. he gets what everyone else would interpret as a fun question and he immediately laments about how the main purpose of that hearing was lost in the spectacle. he, more than any other politician today, has the focus required to be a good leader.

[leolimabeans]

This man is still fighting the good fight and it is so damn inspirational.

[brooks]

Thank you Bernie for all your hard work!

[rig-zag]

I would still vote for Bernie over literally any other presidential candidate.. and this interview perfectly illustrates why.

[Jivolt]

Bernie complains about everything most of my relatives complain about yet my relatives still hate Bernie because that’s their Republican mentality.

[saca]

It should have been Bernie. I cry for our country and could only imagine what it would have been. Stupid oligarchy

[Clementine]

Bernie Sanders The Senator who should have been president !❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[nhokonhokopuala]

It's impossible not to just love this man❤❤❤

This is a prime example of politics, communication and public service ❤🎉🎉🎉 ty sir.

[marigeobrien]

Two things that should never be for-profit are health care and government.

[rebeccabryan]

Thank you, Bernie, for fighting for us. People can't afford to live in this country anymore. I've had a job since I was twelve, I have a Master's degree, and I am just getting by. Political & economic leaders don't seem to have any idea how hard things are & they don't seem to care. Thank you for caring and trying to make them hear us. We need more leaders like you.

[titantim]

Bernie is the president that the US needs, but doesn't deserve. The fact that he hasn't been propped up by the entire population for his OBVIOUS love for the entire population is beyond me.

[olorin]

Thank you for always being yourself Bernie. We need so many more like you.

[hobotony]

Imagine if he won in 2016.... the world would be so better off

[kckc]

This man is the only politician that truly cares to make this country a better place for regular people. ❤

[drewmagnet]

If you Yanks don't want Bernie for President, can us Brits have him?

[alfiegrace]

Thank you, Senator Sanders for being a voice of reason, and for fighting for the tax paying citizens of this country.

[robertalexander-bkzj]

I NEED to live long enough to see Seth Meyers do his Bernie impression to Bernie.
This is the kind of political back-and-forth that could save this country.

[RussHess-js]

Bernie is so correct that America needs a national healthcare system.
