SENATOR SANDERS TELLS COLBERT HE’S NOT GIVING UP ANY TIME SOON

Bernie Sanders stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Monday night and helped the host retrieve a candy bar that was stuck in a vending machine.

In the opening segment of the show, the Vermont senator assured Colbert that there was no reason to give up on his delicious treat.

Unfortunately, Stephen Colbert didn’t share the same feelings about the candidate’s chances of becoming the Democratic nominee for president.
The Vermont Senator was hopeful about his ability to win the West Virginia primary on Tuesday, but Colbert pointed out it might not matter because of the “delegate math” being against him.



All Colbert said, didn’t seem to bother Senator Sanders, who made the connection to Stephen Colbert’s candy conundrum, saying that he had to “rock the system” just like Stephen Colbert needed to rock the vending machine to get his candy bar loose.

In the end, Colbert finally got his 100 Grand bar — and then the senator hilariously asked if they could share it.

"You can't give up on that contested confection," Sanders said, swaying the machine to successfully release the candy bar. "You've got to rock the system!"

As for today's West Virginia primary, Sanders told Colbert he believed he had a good shot at victory against Hillary Clinton, because in West Virginia, and elsewhere, "too many people are working longer hours for low wages and they want change, Stephen."

Sanders remains competitive in individual upcoming primaries—judging by polling numbers for today—but he is still far behind in the number of delegates needed to overtake Clinton before the Democratic convention in July.
