Stephen Colbert Grills Bernie Sanders: Isn’t This ‘Class Warfare?’

[n2doc]

Bernie Sanders stopped by for a victory lap during his second appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Wednesday night, where the host made him defend his “revolution.”

Bernie Sanders continued his New Hampshire victory lap Wednesday night by making his second appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. And while he was still a major underdog when he visited Stephen Colbert last September, this time he was riding high.

The senator from Vermont began by crashing Colbert’s monologue. When the host protested that the show should begin with him alone standing on stage and telling jokes, Sanders replied, “That’s what the elites want you to think.”

“You’ve got to go your own way, follow your own heart, the revolution is possible,” Sanders told Colbert before delivering the final line of the monologue. “Last night, Bernie Sanders won the New Hampshire primary by 22 points. No joke!”

When Sanders entered as Colbert’s guest later in the show, he quickly faced questions about how he managed to win 86 percent of voters 18-24 in New Hampshire. “By definition, young people are idealistic,” he said. “And they look at a world with so many problems and they say, why not? Why can’t all people in this country have healthcare? Why can’t we make public colleges and universities tuition-free?”

2. He did well

But he could have more concise answers at this point for certain things, like single payer. For instance, he could easily say: "We already do it, it's called Medicare, and we want to expand it to cover everyone." Easy and sounds non-threatening.

In general of course, he always tends to do well on these kinds of appearances.

3. Thats a good point,

My wife taught me to be simple and to the point when writing letters to the editor and such. I think if you try to cram ten pound of garbage in a five pound sack you lose people. see ya
