Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says he knows exactly who will most enjoy Thursday night's first round of GOP debates. In an interview on Sirius XM's "The Agenda" the morning ahead of the debate, Sanders ripped his Republican opponents for the messages he thinks they'll likely deliver, including climate-change denial and a focus on tax breaks for the wealthy.
"When you watch that debate, just imagine you are one of the wealthiest people in this country and extremely greedy and selfish, and you're going to have 10 candidates more or less talking about your needs and not the needs of working people," Sanders said. He admitted that there are "obviously nuances and differences" between the candidates' stances, but said that if you listen closely, what they're saying isn't all that different.
