The Independent from Vermont told CBS’s “Face the Nation” today that he can beat Hillary Clinton and acquire the Democratic candidacy for the 2016 presidential race.

Bernie Sanders will face Clinton without the massive financial support backing the former First Lady.

Bernie Sanders Refuses to Draw Hillary Clinton Into Wall Street Debate
“We won’t outspend Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush, but we will raise the kind of money needed to run a strong campaign,” Sanders said.

The presidential hopeful vowed to not use a super PAC to fund his campaign and he echoed his supporters’ views against corporate greed.

“In my view, there is a massive dissatisfaction in this country with the corporate establishment, the greed of corporate America, and the incredibly unequal distribution of wealth and income that currently exists,” Sanders said.

Sanders said he has received nearly 90,000 contributions, averaging about $43 each since announcing his candidacy a week and a half ago.  

The Vermont senator, who calls himself “the most progressive member of the U.S. Senate,” also talked about overturning the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling, and he expressed that he opposed to the Keystone XL Pipeline, a project Clinton has avoided taking a stance on.

Sanders also expressed that he led the battle against a bill that would grant the president “fast track” authority on trade agreements.
