"Are you ready for a radical idea?" Sanders asked. "How about an economy that works for working people and not just for the 1 percent?"

The American middle class bailed out Wall Street during the Great Recession, he noted, and "it's time for Wall Street to help young people and the middle class."

Sanders also pointed to differences he has with Hillary Clinton that he said Nebraska caucus-goers should consider on Saturday.

Clinton accepts campaign funding from super PACs and has ties to Wall Street, he said, and he does not.

When he referred to the 4 million individual campaign contributions he has received, he asked the crowd what the average contribution was. And when they shouted back $27, the number he always recites, he smiled.

"I love that," he said.

As a senator, Clinton voted to authorize the war in Iraq, Sanders said, and he voted against that authorization.

As president, he said, he would be committed to preventing U.S. involvement in "never-ending, perpetual war in the Middle East."

On Saturday, Sanders said, "Nebraska can help push the political revolution forward."

And with that, he was off to Kansas, the site of another Democratic caucus that will be held on Saturday.
