Bernie Sanders--The VOX Conversation with Ezra Klein--July 28, 2015
Bernie Sanders
The Vox conversation
by Ezra Klein on July 28, 2015
When Sen. Bernie Sanders launched his presidential campaign, few treated it as a serious challenge to Hillary Clinton. Sanders, after all, isnt even a Democrat: Hes a "democratic socialist." But his campaign struck a chord. Hes raised more than $15 million, primarily from small donors, and hes turning out the largest crowds of the presidential race. But amidst all the media attention given to Sanderss rapid political rise, theres not been that much exploration of what he actually believes.
So on July 16, Vox sat down with Sanders for a wide-ranging interview about his policy ideas and political theories. The discussion touched on everything from single payer to open borders to Zionism, but it began with perhaps the best-known but least-understood facet of Sanderss political philosophy: his self-identification as a socialist. A transcript of the conversation, edited for length and clarity, follows.

There is an annoying one minute commercial at the beginning. Once you get past that...it's an interesting watch.

He is about Policy and Issues and not Showing Off on Faux.
