Bernie Sanders appeared as spirited as ever during a speech at a church banquet hall in North Charleston Tuesday afternoon.

CM: Will the group be endorsing non-Democrats?
NT: You know what, yes. We are open to it. And for me, Ive also heard the senator say this lately too: Lets put the political affiliation to the side. If there is a Republican or a Libertarian or Green Party person that believes in Medicare for all, then thats our kind of person.
