After Bernie Sanders was projected to lose the first three of the five Mini Super Tuesday states to Hillary Clinton, he turned the focus to his own campaign in an hour-long speech to supporters in Phoenix, Arizona, tonight, saying his campaign has "defied all expectations."
"We started this campaign at 3 percent in the national polls," Sanders said to his supporters.
"We have come a long way in 10 months.
And the reason that we have done as well as we have, the reason that we have defied all expectations, is that we are doing something very radical in American politics -- we are telling the truth.
Sanders also brought up Donald Trump, saying the Republican front-runner "will never be elected president" because "the American people will not accept insults to Mexicans, Muslims or women."
Sanders noted that while Obama's father was born in Kenya and Sanders' father was born in Poland, "nobody asked me for my birth certificate."
