The Democrats have got to open the door to young people. Welcome them in and understand that it will be messy, that many young people are not professional politicians.

Bernie SandersI do believe that we should substantially lower student debt in this country, which is crushing millions of people. We pay for it, in my view, by a tax on Wall Street speculation.

Bernie SandersEvery person in this country who has the desire and ability should be able to get all the education they need regardless of the income of their family. This is not a radical idea.

Bernie SandersYou cannot be a party which takes money from Wall Street, which is not strong on the pharmaceutical industry, which is ripping us off every day, which is not strong on health care in taking on the insurance companies, which has not shown a desire to stand up and fight the economic establishment, and then tell working families that you are on their side. People see through that.
