Sanders: 'We're Not Anointing Anybody For Nomination'

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."
