Back Hillary Clinton in the general election? That's 'a two-way street,' says Bernie Sanders
When asked if he would campaign for Hillary Clinton were she to become the Democratic nominee, Bernie Sanders said in an interview on Friday that he'd have to wait and see.
"Well, first of all, I've got to find out what her platform is, what the views are that she is going to be bringing forth, to what degree she will adopt many of the ideas that I think are extremely popular and I think very sensible," Sanders told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell.
Sanders, who has said he'll stay in the race until the convention, stressed that the process of backing Clinton in a general election would be a "two-way street."

"I want to see the Democratic Party have the courage to stand up to big money interests in a way that they have not in the past, take on the drug companies, take on Wall Street, take on the fossil-fuel industry, and I want to see them come up with ideas that really do excite working families and young people in this country," Sanders said.
