Bernie Sanders: I Can Still Win The Nomination [VIDEO]

From CBS News:

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders admitted Sunday that his path to the Democratic nomination is an “uphill fight,” but vowed that he is still actively trying to win the race over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

“It’s an uphill fight, I admit it,” he said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “We need to win 65 percent of those votes, but the states coming up are favorable to us.”

Still, asked by moderator John Dickerson what the current goal of his campaign is, Sanders replied: “To win the Democratic nomination and then to win the general election.”

The senator added that of the 10 remaining states to vote, several are favorable territory for him–especially California, which he said “happens to be the most progressive state in this country.”

“It is difficult,” Sanders said of his chances at the nomination. “It is not impossible.”

Sunday is the one-year anniversary of Sanders’ entrance into the Democratic race. Asked what that means to him, Sanders said it’s a reminder of how far his campaign has come.

“It means we have come an extraordinary distance in one year,” he said. “You know, when we started, we were considered to be a fringe candidate. We have now won over nine million votes. We have won 16 states.”
