Bernie Sanders Surprises Stephen Colbert During New York City Campaign Stop

http://readersupportednews.org/news-section2/318-66/36083-bernie-sanders-surprises-stephen-colbert-during-new-york-city-campaign-stop

Colbert asked the Vermont senator about Hillary Clinton's massive lead in the superdelegate count and if Sanders though some of those superdelegates would switch to his side by the July convention.

"I think the superdelegates should listen to the will of their people. If you get 60, 70, 80 percent of the vote in a state, I think superdelegates should vote for us," said Sanders, touting his recent caucus wins. "I think what we need in the Democratic party is some democracy."

Sanders was not done. The presidential candidate also wanted to spin Colbert's news wheel. However, the surprise appearance became a comedy bit when Sanders noticed that a "Late Show" staff member was hiding under Colbert's desk to hold the mock crank Colbert was using to activate the wheel.

“Hey! There is a human being down here,” Sanders shouted. “What is going on? What are you doing to this worker? What kind of operation are you running, Stephen?”

“It’s a talk show, Bernie,” Colbert smirked.
