Dr. Jill Stein, a former medical doctor and the presumptive 2016 Green Party nominee, is trying to court Bernie Sanders' supporters, as it becomes clear that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic party's nominee, reports the Los Angeles Times.

"[Sanders] was trying to have a revolutionary campaign in a counter-revolutionary party," Stein said on CNN's "New Day" last week. "I'm basically inside of a revolutionary party that supports this agenda."

Stein is expected to become the Green Party's nominee when the party convenes in August.

Stein applauded Sanders' efforts, but said that the Democratic Party worked against his democratic socialist agenda. Sanders and Stein are both calling for free college tuition, which Stein said the government can afford without putting a significant burden on taxpayers.

"If we bailed out the guys who crashed the economy through their waste, fraud and abuse, it's certainly time that we need to bail out our younger generation," she said.

When Stein ran for president in 2012, she received less than 1 percent nationwide. This time around, few polls have asked voters about third party candidates such as Stein and Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party nominee. Read more at the Los Angeles Times.

An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Sunday surveyed registered voters about Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in a head-to-head matchup, but also expanded the horserace to four candidates, including the Green and Libertarian contenders.

The results showed Clinton receiving 39 percent and Trump receiving 38 percent, with Johnson at 10 percent and Stein at 6 percent. Read more at NBC News.

Stein appeared Sunday on a CBS Boston political talk show to discuss the election and why voters should look to her as a viable option, reports WBZ.

"Because you're being thrown under the bus by two political parties who've been basically racing to the bottom on behalf of Wall Street and big corporate donors," Stein said.

The former physician said that, while she used to practice clinical medicine, "now I practice political medicine."

She criticized Trump for his failure to release his tax returns, his record of offshoring jobs and his failed businesses, especially Trump University. Stein also directed her criticism toward the presumptive Democratic nominee and her husband's presidency.

"The meltdown on Wall Street, the disappearance of 9 million jobs, 5 million people who had their homes stolen out from under them - that was a direct consequence of Wall Street deregulation brought to us by the Clintons," Stein said. Read more at WBZ.
