Sanders: ‘I’m Knocking My Brains Out’ [VIDEO]

Sen. Bernie Sanders says, “I’m knocking my brains out to win the Democratic nomination.”

Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday with Chuck Todd, Sanders said that if he is not the eventual Democratic nominee, he wants Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential pick to be someone who “will not be from Wall Street, will be somebody who has a history of standing up and fighting for working families, taking on the drug companies whose greed is doing so much harm, taking on Wall Street, taking on corporate America, and fight for a government that works for all of us, not just the one percent.” (RELATED: Sanders Doesn’t Take Kindly To Questions About His Past [AUDIO])

Todd followed up, “Would you take the call if Hillary Clinton asked you to be her running mate?”

“Well, right now, again — here we are in California. I’m knocking my brains out to win the Democratic nomination. That’s where I am right now. What happens afterwards, we will — you know, we’ll see but right now, my focus is on winning the nomination.”

“That was a very politically — a political type of answer that says you’re not answering the question,” Todd replied. “Fair enough? You’re not ruling it out?”

“Well — what I am saying right now is our focus is on winning the Democratic nomination,” Sanders replied.
