The presidential candidate tells Salon that Democrats lose when GOP trashes Obama record, and Dems can't fight back.
The last question Ill ask you about the debatethe one aspect thats foggy to me is to what extent the DNC worked with the Clinton campaign when they were actually setting the dates and coming up with the exclusivity clause. Do you know anything about that, or is that in the murky fog of history at this point?
No, I dont know anything about that, but when theres fish in the milk, I think all thinking people have a responsibility to ask how it got there.
Did you say a fish in the milk?
Yeah, when theres a fish in the milk. I dont know where I got that from. (Laughter in background from his staff.) Look up a fish in the milk. I think its
the guy who wrote Walden Pond.
Thoreau? . .
Weve seen Bernie Sanders hammer on the topic of wealth inequality, and making some gains in the polls, especially in Iowa and New Hampshire. For your campaign, whats the idea thats going to do that for you, and short of the exposure that debates bring, how will that happen?
Ultimately what were electing is a president and a chief executive, and chief executives have to get things done. So yes, we can talk about this issue of the growing injustice and growing inequality in our country. Notwithstanding the fact that our countrys doing better and weve created jobs now for 66 months in a row, the hard truth of our times is that 70 percent of us are earning the same or less than we were 12 years ago. And thats not how our economy or our country is supposed to work. Thats not the American dream. So people are angry, people are frustrated, and people are particularly angry at the established leaders of both parties who they rightly perceive have gone along with either trickle-down economics or trickle-down lite. These are the economics that benefit a few megabanks on Wall Street and threaten to leave the rest of us behind.
