He’s not necessarily connected with the Clinton at the hip because of their ideology, it’s because it serves his purposes for self-promotion. He doesn’t have a deal with them because they’re buddies, but because he makes deals and plan B’s wherever he goes. Looking on the outside, a deal here makes perfect sense. Hillary is the biggest winner with his continued candidacy.
I don’t know who told you he was selflessly supporting Clinton, but that would be the first person that I’ve heard using selfless to describe him. If he supports Clinton, it’s because it benefits himself in some way.
I agree with you. So is he a Leftist due to his connection to them?
No. It has no bearing on his political ideology.
