Quote by Bernie Sanders

“I think, when the African-American community understands my record on criminal justice, my record on economics, the agenda we're bringing forth, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, dealing with the fact that we have more people in jail, shamefully, than any other country on Earth, that I am against the death penalty, Secretary Clinton is not, I think, as people become familiar with my ideas, we are going to do better and better.”

Over the last years or so, I'd say the three-point contest has been more entertaining than the dunk contest, but this was really special this year.”

“I'm running out of time, and a Western is America's answer to a Greek tragedy, so that's what we did.
