Wow...is it any wonder that people in the U.S. are sick and fucking tired of elitist politicians?

You're just as bad as the media you love to hate. The full quotes from the interview and not just the portions you cherry picked:
When asked if he bought into the notion that the Sanders campaign was similar to his candidacy versus Clinton eight years ago.
"I don't think thats true." Then said:
"I think they're both passionate about kids having a great education, I think they want to make sure everybody has healthcare. I think that they both believe in a tax system that is fair and not tilted towards, you know, the folks at the very top. But, you know, they â?? I think Bernie came in with the luxury of being a complete longshot and just letting loose."
"I think Hillary came in with the â?? both privilege and burden of being perceived as the front-runner."
"I've gotten to know Hillary really well, and she is a good, smart, tough person who cares deeply about this country, and she has been in the public eye for a long time and in a culture in which new is always better," he said. "And, you know, you're always looking at the bright, shiny object that people don't, haven't seen before. That's a disadvantage to her."
"Bernie is somebody who â?? although I don't know as well because he wasn't, obviously, in my administration, has the virtue of saying exactly what he believes, and great authenticity, great passion, and is fearless. His attitude is, 'I got nothing to lose.'"
I wonder where you got your news that shaped your opinion? Big shocker. lol
