If former Democratic presidential nominee Bernie Sanders is bothered by the release of hacked emails that suggest Hillary Clinton had a cozy relationship with Wall Street, he isn’t showing it.

“Whatever Clinton may have said behind closed doors, that’s fine,” Sanders said in Philadelphia on Saturday, according to CBS3....

Sanders has long supported bringing back the Glass-Steagall act, which was enacted after the Great Depression to stop commercial banks from engaging in the investment business. It was reversed by then-president Bill Clinton in 1999.

Someone reminded Sanders of the downside to living in a big house in a secluded area.

“The fake socialist got his payoff what does he care about principle.”

Socialism for the masses, not the leaders. That’s the way it has always been.

Bernie used to remind me of Salvador Allende in his naive socialism, but no more. Allende went down fighting.

Just who is BernMe anyway? He riled up all the young mushheads with his banter and then he caves to the DemoRat party apparatchiks like a weakling. Was it all just for money and trinkets that he so railed against? He’s a total putz sellout.
