Upstate

In other words, FDR was a great man, and so am I.


"During his speech, Sanders mentioned FDR repeatedly.
'In my view, FDR was one of the greatest presidents," Sanders said. "He was a great president because he came into office in 1933 in a nation which was experiencing the worst depression in the history of our country and he looked around him and he saw millions of people unemployed and hungry.
'He saw farmers losing their farms. He saw people struggling every single day to get the health care they needed or education for their kids. And he came forward and he said, 'You know what, we are going to transform the way government works in America'. And that is what he did."
The crowd, which roared repeatedly during the speech, booed when Sanders mentioned Clinton."
