Bernie Sanders on key losses: Poor people don’t vote

Democratic presidential contender Sen. Bernard Sanders said Sunday that his platform on income inequality hasn’t translated into victories in key states because of a simple reality — poor people don’t vote.

“I mean, that’s just a fact. That’s a sad reality of American society,” said Mr. Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist from Vermont.

Speaking to NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Mr. Sanders was trying to explain why he keeps losing to front-runner Hillary Clinton in states with high income inequality, even though that is his number-one issue.
