Hillary tonight tried to tie Sanders to the Koch Bros. This is flat out dishonest. No other politician has vocally spoken out against or vehemently fought against the Kochs as much as Bernie has - here we go:

(882 posts)People will sometimes complain about Sanders just repeating the same points in every speech. I think he has to do that. First because there are always people that haven't really heard this message at all as he travels around the country so he keeps having to introduce it.
Secondly, for many of the people that have heard it before, it doesn't really sink in right away, not enough that they really start thinking about it. It might seem like a simple, redundant message about wealth inequality, but the consequences are diverse and complicated.
But clips like this, where he is not trying to introduce, or summarize his overall message, but is instead focusing on one aspect of it, is where he really demonstrates what he understands to be the problems we face and what his position on those problems are.
In this case it is specifically the Koch brothers, the ideology they represent and what that would mean if they were successful. It is sharp, insightful, and goes far beyond what can be conveyed in a wide ranging two hour debate format.
