It's not hard to figure. He wants to win.

No, he's a New Dealer as I said. What you're describing is a throwback to the Roosevelt era, an atavism. And that's why I voted for him. It's a case of unfinished business.

Can I have a ride in your time machine?

Bernie's a DINO, not a New Deal atavism.

NOAM CHOMSKY: Well, Bernie Sanders is an extremely interesting phenomenon. He’s a decent, honest person. That’s pretty unusual in the political system. Maybe there are two of them in the world, you know. But he’s considered radical and extremist, which is a pretty interesting characterization, because he’s basically a mainstream New Deal Democrat. His positions would not have surprised President Eisenhower, who said, in fact, that anyone who does not accept New Deal programs doesn’t belong in the American political system. That’s now considered very radical.

This thread is now official, at least from the State Department Audit.

Clinton Broke Federal Rules With Email Server, Audit Finds

I think the Hillary should get off her campaign train at Chappaqua before it gets into a total wreck.

Rules are not laws, but that's a pretty thin reed. And "everybody does it" is a weak defense.
