Description: And she is confident the party will be unified

[ BLANK_AUDIO ] So you get into the general election if you're the nominee for your party. I will be the nominee for my party Chris, that is already done in a fact, there is no way that I won't be. There is a senator from Vermont who has a different take on that, he says he's going to fight to the end and there seems to be a change here. as Donald Trump is trying to galvanize his party and the Democratic party seems to be going the other way. His supporters have become more aggressive feeling that the system is rigged against the Senator. We saw what happened in Nevada. When you saw that did you believe that Sanders responded the right way To that situation? Well I was very disturbed by what went on there. But I am confident- With him or with the supporters? Well what we saw. What we saw there. The supporters? Well what we saw was disturbing. And I have every confidence we're gonna be unified. I understand- Where's the confidence come from? Well in part from my own experience. I went all the way to the end against then Senator Obama. I won nine out of the last twelve contests. Back in '08 I won Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia so I know the intense feelings that arise, particularly among your supporters, as you go toward the end. But we both were following the same rules just as both Senator Sanders and I are following the same rules. And I'm three million votes ahead of him and I have an insurmountable lead in pledged delegates and I am confident that just as I did with Senator Obama where I said you know what It was really close, much closer, much closer than it is between me and Senator Sanders right now. Votes wise? Yeah, vote wise, and delegate wise. I said, in fact if you depends on how you evaluated it I had more popular vote, but I had fewer delegates, and the name of the game is how many delegates you have, right? So when I came out and withdrew and endorsed Senator Obama, about 40 % according to polls, about 40 % of my supporters said they would never support him. So I really hard to make the case as I'm sure Senator Sanders will. That whatever differences we might have, they pale in comparison to the presumptive nominee of the republican party. Name an issue you care about domestic, or international. And clearly we are much closer, Senator Sanders supporters and mine, then either of us is with Donald Trump. Why don't you reach out directly to senator Sanders and do the work of reunification of the party however you want to see it. I ask this because senator Sanders has said to me in the past, and to many others, it's not my job to get my supporters to vote for Hillary Clinton, Clinton has to make the case to these supporters and given what you're seeing With his increase in hostility and antagonism toward the process within the primaries on the Democratic side. Should you reach out to Bernie Sanders and say let's start doing this the right way. Let me start talking to the sports [?] from your perspective. Have you done that? Have you thought of doing that? I've said many times what I've just said. To everyone including his supporters. And I am absolutely committed to doing my part, more than my part. But Senator Sanders has to do his part. That's why the lesson of 2008, which was a hard fought primary as you remember, is so pertinent here. Because I did my part, but so did Senator Obama. He made it clear, he welcomed people who had supported me. [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
