Bernie Sanders at North Dakota Rally: I'm Not 'Some Kind of Savior'
In response to an attendee shouting out that the country needs him, Sanders responded, "If there is any person here, any person here that thinks I'm coming to you as some kind of savior, that I'm going to do it all -- all myself, you're wrong.
"No president, not Bernie Sanders or anybody else can do it alone. We don't need a savior."
Sanders, speaking to about 2,000 people at Fargo's Ramada Plaza & Suites, emphasized, "We need a political movement with millions of people."
He also took the opportunity to cite presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump:
"See, there are people voting for Donald Trump, thinking he's going to do it all," he said.
"Wrong! The only way that real change every takes place is when millions of people stand up and fight back. That's what this campaign is about."
Not quite.
He should have said, "No president, not Bernie Sanders or anybody else, can do it alone.
"The only way that real change ever takes place is when millions of people vote for politicians who will support it, in the White House and in the Congress, in governors' mansions and state houses, at all levels of government.
"America is not a dictatorship, it is a federal republic, and the United States are each and all republics."
Update, 6/9/16.
Real change?
Well, there are always those revolutionists in black robes on the Supreme Court.
