Sen. Bernie Sanders says he will win the Iowa caucuses on one condition — there's a large voter turnout.
"Younger people, lower-income people, if they come out in big numbers we'll win. If they don't, we won't," Sanders, a Vermont independent seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, said Monday on ABC's
"Good Morning America."
"We want to see people vote. We want to see them caucus and vote."
Sanders — who the latest
Des Moines Register poll says Hillary Clinton is leading by just 3 points — also dismissed his rival's claim that he's stooped to running a
negative campaign.
"I have tried my best, never making personal attacks against Hillary Clinton, debating the issues. When we talk about me running a negative campaign, that's absurd," he said.
Sanders, a far-to-the left liberal, also revealed that if he is elected president, Americans likely won't see him wearing a tuxedo to the Inaugural Ball.
"I don't think so. You know, a tux is kind of symbol of class privilege. That says, 'I'm really important and I'm fancy and you're something else,'" Sanders said.
Sanders has already proven his penchant for casual dress — he once attended a White House function and he and Nelson Mandela were the only two guests not in formal garb.
