Bernie Sanders: The Daily News interview
To my friends in New York, California and other states deciding in the primary: I urge you to read the entirety of the Daily News interview with Bernie Sanders. No, not the rag that is printed on the masthead. That's too cheap n' easy. It's the one next to the "please press" button. Will you agree with Bernie on every issue? Nope. But no president, from Washington on down, has ever agreed with the prospective president on every jot and tittle. Those of us who are transgender folks need to know that this primary is vital. Thank you very much.
