Bernie Sanders:

Can you lay out a credible path to stop HRC?
- Cites wins in Indiana, West Virginia, and Oregon
- Have to do very well to get to 50% of pledged delegates
- Super delegates should take a look at which candidate is better equipped for general

HRC has 3 million more votes and only needs 90 more pledged?
- Steep uphill climb
- "I don't want the American people voting for the lesser of two evils"

HRC the lesser of two evils?
- Well, I wouldn't describe it as that
- But both have high unfavorables

Will you be able to convince your supporters to back HRC over Trump?
- I have confidence that if HRC is prepared to stand up to corporate greed, be strong on climate change, and address income inqueality, I think she will win by a large number of votes

Will you push for those issues on the party platform?
- We will push for the most progressive agenda we can

Supporters planning protests in Philadephia?
- Rejects media coverage of Nevada
- No chairs being thrown, no violence, no one being rude
- People going to Philadeplphia have first amendment right to demonstrate

Open to being Hillary Clinton's VP?
- Too early to talk about that
- Currently running all over CA and NM to get every last vote
