Bernie Sanders in Democratic Primary Debate

On Drugs: Opioid manufacturers profited & knew their products killed

On Foreign Policy: Turkey is not a US ally when they invade & mass slaughter

Sanders: No, Turkey is not a U.S. ally when they invade another country and engage in mass slaughter. The crisis here is when you begin to betray people. In terms of the Kurds, 11,000 of them died fighting ISIS, 20,000 were wounded. And the United States said, "We are with you. We're standing with you." And then suddenly one day, after a phone call with [Turkish President] Erdogan, announced by tweet, Trump reverses that policy. Now you tell me, what country in the world will trust the word of the President of the United States? In other words, what he has done is wreck our ability to do foreign policy, to do military policy because nobody in the world will believe this pathological liar.

On Health Care: Taxes will go up with Medicare for All, most will pay less

Sen. Elizabeth WARREN: Costs will go up for the wealthy & for big corporations. For hardworking, middle class families, costs will go down. It is about what kinds of costs middle class families are going to face. So let me be clear on this. I will not sign a bill into law that does not lower costs for middle class families.

SANDERS: On the Medicare for All bill, premiums are gone, co-payments are gone, deductible All out of pocket expenses are gone. The overwhelming majority of people will save money on their healthcare bills. But I think it is appropriate to acknowledge that taxes will go up. They're going to go up significantly for the wealthy and for virtually everybody, the tax increase they pay will be substantially less, substantially less than what they were paying for premiums and out of pocket expenses.

On Jobs: Create jobs with infrastructure repair & Green New Deal

SANDERS: Damn right, we will. We have an infrastructure which is collapsing. We can put 15 million people to work rebuilding our roads, our bridges, our water systems, our wastewater plants, airports, etc. Furthermore, the Green New Deal that I have advocated will create up to 20 million jobs as we move away from fossil fuel to energy efficiency and sustainable energy.

On Principles & Values: I hold major rallies despite age & health

SANDERS: Let me invite you all to a major rally we're having in Queens, New York. We're going to be mounting a vigorous campaign all over this country. That is how I think I can reassure the American people.

On Principles & Values: End divisiveness; unite people with progressive agenda

On Principles & Values: Trump a corrupt president, worthy of impeachment
