there's a resolution that they're going to be voting on, later this week, that regards the two independent senators in the u.s. senate, u.s. bernie sanders, be it resolve that the dnc recognizes the important contributions of the independent senators from maine and vermont. >> that's the good part. >> to causes at the heart of the democratic party's mission, and to urge them to run as democrats. are you ready to declare your caucus with the democrats. are you ready to declare that you're a democrat and accept this resolution that is coming up for a vote at the dnc? >> no, i've been an independent since the early '90s. i was a governor as an independent. that's who i am. i caucus with the democrats. you have to choose one caucus or the other. it's worked out. i more often vote with the democrats, but not always. i like to call 'em as i see 'em. and that's where i'm going to stay. >> we'll see if bernie sanders, who's also an independent, decides to accept this resolution from the dnc. senator, thanks very much for
