Avowed democratic socialist and presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders (D., Vt.) said that the person the DNC will nominate for its 2016 presidential candidate is far from a foregone conclusion.
When MSNBC's Ed Schultz suggested that Hillary Clinton may be "unstoppable" in clinching the nomination, Sanders disagreed:
Look, Ed. What I say, as somebody who has known Hillary Clinton for years--I like her; I respect her. But I think this country, at every level, needs serious debate, not 30-second sound bites, not negative attack ads.
Sanders went on to list issues that need to be addressed, including moving to a national health care system, which he says he thinks is a "good idea."
"There's so much to be discussed," Sanders said. "And we're not, in this country, about anointing anybody for a nomination."
