About how Democrats can slow down the republic’s agenda
Karl: So, realistically, Republican parties control the DPR. They control the White House. They control the senate. So what, realistically, can be done?
Sanders: Well, for the main law, you still need 60 votes in the senate. And let’s clarify, and we – we have chosen many places that I visited at Wisconsin, in Iowa, in Michigan, we – we – we chose it carefully. That [districts] Having a member of the Republican Congress who wins with a small margin. Right now, I don’t know what the amount is. I think that if two or three Republicans of 200 and whatever they are, 18 or whatever they get, choose not to support giving tax relief to billionaires and cutting Medicaid and education, we can defeat this big additional bill, the beautiful Bill that Trump wants to see. “

Karl: You say that the ratification of this bill, sustainable resolution, is, “Absolute Failure of Democratic Leadership.” Who are you talking about?
Sanders: Well, [Sen. Chuck] Schumer is a party leader, and it shouldn’t have happened, point. There are no questions about that … But the point is, it’s not just Chuck Schumer. Not only Chuck Schumer. This, you have a Democratic Party in general which is dominated by billionaires, as well as Republicans, that … operating under the leadership of a group of consultants in the stuff, paid very well, which is far from contact with 32,000 people here today. “
