Republicans have gone way too far to the right. I am finding that the democrats gone crazy. I am going to go there, it is called [indiscernible] it is for millennials who complain and whine about everything. With Bernie Sanders same he went to goldman sachs, i think we when he says when he goes and gives speeches to the communist party. Not the socialist party, the communist party. This is like ostrow, he thought nicaragua castro, he thought nicaragua was great. The communist party is fine. Why do you classify yourself as an independent . Why not register as a democrat . Caller there are some people seriously, i would consider john kasich. He is a rational person. Parties to me that both have gone ape crazy. I dont even understand what they are doing. Cruz. Even wants ted i thought the democrats were smarter. I can trust either party if you are going to let us, almost communist, man run for office. No one is checking into this. Vote kids are on a fad to for Bernie Sanders. It is just a joke to them. Host pedro, good morning. Why are you independent . Caller i am calling cspan. Host ok, glad to have you. Caller i am a former democrat. I am voting independent because i want to vote for [indiscernible] in the selection. Reasons,n is this, to jobsal immigration and the that congress is giving away to china. We need those jobs back for americans. We need to have jobs for. Mericans the economy is hurting badly. You have to wait like six hours now because so many people there are illegal and it is a big problem for the population. Because they are exploiting the poor american citizens. We need to get down with all of this. I was born in puerto rico, but all americans are citizens. I thank you for your time and may god bless cspan. Host katie is that the net from sunset, texas. Meyer you independent and you like any candidates . Caller i really dont like any time, butdidates this my choice of be Bernie Sanders. And i was a in iowa democrat, ok . My parents were both democrats. Then i lived in texas for the last 35 years, so i basically turned over to the Republican Party. I dont like Donald Trumps filthy mouth, and i dont like ted cruzs antics of dishonesty, and i dont like Hillary Clinton. Nafta in her husbands administration. It used to be a prosperous town until nafta and all those companies, which i heard on the cspan channel that all those companies moved out, making that whichrtystricken area, has happened all over the United States of america. She is involved with the big bankers. You cannot trust what she says. The only thing i would say about Bernie Sanders he doesnt change his story. Cspan isat in a way, a little bit prejudiced against hillary because they give her more time. She interrupts, she gets more bernie has notnd had that. I think that they need to be more fair. The media needs to be more fair. Know, and giving candidates a chance to say what they really want to say. Be happy to have any of the candidates on the washington journal to take calls from the public. The candidatethat you would support his Bernie Sanders. Here is Bernie Sanders from thursday nights democratic debate. He is talking about his independent views and being the leader of the Democratic Party if you were elected president and the United States. Heres a bit from the debate. Bernie sanders i am the longest serving independent in the history of the United States congress. They sent me as an independent. On the other hand, when i was in the house for 16 years, i caucused with the democrats. In the senate for nine years, caucused with the democrats. I was elected by the democrats to be chair of the veterans i amttee three years ago, very proud of, and a Ranking Member on the budget. President as ar , and if elected, not only do i hope to bring forth a major change in national priority, let me be frank, i do want to see major changes in the Democratic Party. I want to see working people, young people coming to the party in a way that does not exist now. 50 state strategy so the Democratic Party is not just a party of 25 states. Host Bernie Sanders on thursday night. This morning, as the show goes on, edgar writes in that cspanwj that republicans are too far right and that bernie is the independent choice. The Weekly Standard covered this week the headline it is hillary versus the sadnern istas. You can see the artwork that they put together for this weeks Weekly Standard. In a story about Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders by sean macomber, he says to label sanders as the leader of a political revolution, it would be widely inaccurate. For one thing, they are nothing you cant find on the periodic table of the mainstream left. You cant the standard issue out this week. It is the front page story about Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. We are talking to independents and asking if youre satisfied with your choices for president. I say so far, there is plenty of time left in the campaign, and there are some speculations about former new york mayor Michael Bloomberg getting into the race. Here is a story from a cbs affiliate. The political world is watching and waiting on a potential president ial run from the former new york mayor bloomberg. His name popped up on the 2016 greater following last months report that the 73yearold would consider running the donald trump or senator ted cruz took the republican nomination beatenator Bernie Sanders Hillary Clinton on the democratic side. A recent gallup poll revealed that 60 of voters created the creation of a Third Political party and 44 consider themselves independent. We are asking that 44 to wait in this morning. Just for the first 45 minutes we are talking to them. Chris is up from ohio. Good morning. Caller good morning. Host why are you an independent . Caller because i just dont go with groups and i dont like to follow people. I like to make my own choices and think for myself. Which is what i think an independent does. [laughter] i am kind of amused by this season, this campaign season. I really appreciate donald trump being out there. Has raised issues nobody else has raised. Number one, he is not bought by anybody. He is running on his own and he sure is independent. [laughter] i dont think hes really republican, but i would not vote for the guy because i dont trust him. Host do you agree with this from that Washington Post story . One of the theories they put andh about independents undeclared Voters Falling in New Hampshire, is that they fall for trump. They see the brash outside has rallied the frustrated and angry masses who feel silenced by the power structure of both parties and that he will become a magnet for independent voters. You agree . Caller i think he definitely could be. I think he could feel to them. He voices he says things nobody else is going to get away with saying. He is speaking truths for the although, his facts are not always accurate. Honestly, i am leaning toward because the thing is people get all uptight about one word socialism. What is socialist . Well, we, the people, that is socialist. Federal highway systems, that is socialism. Isicipal collection, that socialism. Higher Department Fire departments, police, the military all socialism. The word is [laughter] people are uptight about the word. Here is the thing, i am for Bernie Sanders but i honestly i dont know if you can get done. Ng i dont know if anything can them because the partisanship of the government. Honestly, when it comes down to on mental a question health for anybody who wants that job. I said the same thing. I voted for barack obama twice and i said the same thing about him. You have to question the Mental Health of anybody who wants that job. Host that is chris from ohio. The tweet says none of the above will do anything that i want. We will hear from independence about your thoughts on the current field of candidates and why you are an independent in which way you are leaving this cycle. Up next, the rain from cop lorraine from colorado. Caller good morning. Host how are you . Caller i think i am like many people in this country. This satisfied with the candidates that are trying to become president of the United States. On Mental Health for anybody who wants that job. I said the same thing. I voted for barack obama twice and i said the same thing about him. You have to question the Mental Health of anybody who wants that job. Host that is chris from ohio. The tweet says none of the above will do anything that i want. We will hear from independence about your thoughts on the current field of candidates and why you are an independent in which way you are leaving this cycle. Up next, the rain from cop lorraine from colorado. Caller good morning. Host how are you . Caller i think i am like many people in this country. This satisfied with the candidates that are trying to become president of the United States. I do not think one of them will be able to address the Division Going on. Feel like there is one person who is able to help together to work with congress to solve the problems. Problembecoming a big in this country. This is the craziest election and i have never seen anything like this. It is rather disgusting. Host is there anybody outside candidates field of you think could bring the country together . I really doubt it. I just dont understand what is country, not this even the president ial candidates. It is everybody. For one side or the other, theres no in between, solving problems. We make such a big deal about running for the presidency, but do we ever hear about the other running . S the senators are the ones who make the law. The president has just become a figurehead in the country. Understand his side. I dont know if it is the primary season, political junkie. We have certain people that we see every minute of every day and there are some people that we dont see at all, the time it around to out of the primaries and we actually do have a candidate, we really dont know. We dont know what they are going to say. It has become a problem i am frustrated with. Host jack is in jacksonville, florida. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, cspan. I am dissatisfied with the republican and basically the Democratic Party. The Democrat Party has two anyway, i am leaning toward Bernie Sanders because it is just like i think it was chris in ohio naming about the different social programs that the United States has, but i want to say another thing. I got two cards from the supervised election, and i cannot vote in the democratic all Republican Party because my wife and i vote independent. I think that is wrong and that could be the main reason why the United States electoral system is in the situation that it is. People are denied the right to vote in simple primary in simple primaries. If everybody voted at the same time, we would get some of these wonderful people out of office. Who would be a buddha put in who we won, we, the people, like chris said, we, the people. Our State Government is given tax money to the nfl, professional football games, plus, the daytona 500 and all stuff. It is ridiculous. And all that stuff. It is ridiculous. Host we talked about that on thursdays show, the different there, changing the primary process if the primary process could get changed. You might be interested in going back to look at the last 45 , we will listen to independents and get your thoughts on the candidates in the field. Go ahead romney in minnesota nie, minnesota. You with us . Go ahead. Tell you what, we will fix that connection and we will go to wayne in illinois. This is wayne. How are you doing . Host good. Why are you an independent . I vote for mrs. Clinton. Host ok. Caller and she do a good job. I vote for her. Host you always vote for democrats . Why do you consider yourself independent . Caller because i like mrs. Clinton. Host ok, were going to date in york. Dave in new york. Caller good morning. I feel it is unfair that i cannot vote in one primary or the other. You kind of feel left out. , butd to be republican they got i hate to say this [indiscernible] they have gotten crazy. I cannot go that way anymore, so i cannot be a democrat, so i became independent. I will tell you what that guy points, it isg Bernie Sanders. He is talking about things that are mechanically wrong with this country, the income inequality, we will never have a middleclass level as long as theres no money here. And thedressing things other thing, student loans. I have been through this. I have sent a few kids to college now. They come out of college and their like eyeball deep in debt. Host did you say your friends were not believe it if you were supporting Bernie Sanders . White is that . Caller i was always really conservative. Put a label want to on they want to label him a socialist and that is supposed to be the deal killer, but i think sometimes you have to listen. Do not become so narrowminded. Everything had to be to the right of center to get my nod on it, but what Bernie Sanders is saying, there is something really, really wrong with this country. Think that we have tried moderate, we have tried for a conservative i dont think we have ever tried liberal. I dont know if we have or not, it just doesnt seem dont know. I dont know of it. I am 70 years old. I dont recall any really ultimate liberal like Bernie Sanders. Me gavey it out capitalism and we gave capitalism a super track, and we could try and see how long it can go. We have seen the other ones go badly wrong. Host on twitter, steve prides the perfect candidate who becomes the perfect president never existed. Compromise thats a problem we have now. , good morning. What could the candidate say to you to sway your vote . And i i take a good look dont know anything about Bernie Sanders except that he is an old man trying to run for office, hillary andthat bill, together, a great combination. They were married during the office the first time, they went through trials and tribulations together, she held her composure through the whole thing, and he is still out there and she is smart, intelligent, and a woman. It is time for a woman to take the reins because they have always been in the background and they are there and helping all the time. Give her a chance because she will make one great president. Thank you. Host sander in massachusetts. Hillary clinton releasing a new in New Hampshire. We will talk about New Hampshire a lot today on todays show and the next three days leading up to that primary vote. Heres a peek at Hillary Clintons campaign ad. Think about it. I would bomb the [beep] out of them. Carpet bombed them into oblivion. Sit down and shut up. I think we should repeal
