Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders criticized the Democratic Party establishment on NBC’s “Meet The Press” Sunday, attributing poor voter turnout to establishment preferences and messaging.
“Democrats are losing because turnout is abysmal,” Sanders said.
“When I speak to 28,000 people … the vast majority of those people, they’re not quote-unquote ‘registered Democrats,'” Sanders said. “One of the real advantages, I think, of me winning the Democratic primary, is that we get a lot of young people, a lot of working people involved in the political process, getting them out to vote in a way that establishment politicians can’t.”

Former Donald Trump aide Roger Stone, who still largely speaks cordially and supportively of his former boss, recently compared Sen. Sanders, I-Vt., and Trump.
Sanders brushed off comparisons to Trump, saying that that he is not “a billionaire” like The Donald. Some of Sanders’ populist language, that distances itself from the political class, sounds similar to Trump’s, pointed out NBC host Chuck Todd.
Sanders called his supporters “ordinary people who are sick and tired of politics as usual,” a line that also describes Trump’s fans.
