He was able to self-fund, you know, largely his campaign, and he already was a media figure without them.
AOC has been much more cautious with the Democratic Party establishment, in part because she's not trying to run a national political campaign right now.
For the outside, like a 5% chance I could be president.
Let me set fire to everything.
She's trying to help people and help her constituents through the game of getting committee appointments and, you know, getting wins in the margins.

Because we were establishing our own outside third force in American politics.
You know, you could knock on the door of a lot of people who would end up voting for Trump and they would say, oh, I have a lot of respect for Bernie or whatever.

Trump was more complex than Bernie.
in his literal language.
But he was repetitive, and there was kind of a rhythm and a cadence to Trump's speech.
