Sanders: Republicans ‘Do Not Want America To Succeed’ Appearing on Face The Nation, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) accused Republicans of deliberately blocking legislation in order to stop job creation, and thus improve their chances in the election. “I think in his heart the president is a very, very decent guy; he wants to do what most Americans want him to do: To reach out, bring people together,” said Sanders. “But what has happened is the Republicans have said ‘no, no, no.’ They have waged more filibusters than any time in the history of this country. They have been the party of ‘no’ and obstructionism. At some point, what the president has got to understand [is] they do not want America to succeed. They’re into politics.”
