Sen. Bernie Sanders didn’t attack Hillary Clinton, but he also vowed to fight on and keep his political movement alive.
Sen. Sanders delivered many of his same now standard talking points and said that he is optimistic about the future of the country because so many young people have come on board and are supporting his campaign. Sanders said, “Our vision will be the future of America.”
Sanders said that right-wing Republicans won’t be allowed to control our government and singled out Donald Trump. Sanders said that the American people will never support a candidate who insults Mexicans, Muslims, Women, and African-Americans. He continued that the mission is more than defeating Trump. It is about transforming the country.

Bernie Sanders is out to transform America via a populist movement. There is something bigger at stake than the Democratic nomination. Sanders spent more time criticizing Trump than mentioning the Democratic race.
