The ‘Wait, What?!’ of the Week, October 25, 2015

Bernie Sanders is running for president. He trails only Hillary Clinton in the polls for the Democrat party nomination. During a televised debate last week, Sanders offered the most memorable sound bite of the entire evening when shouted this about Mrs. Clinton’s email scandal: “The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails!”

Wait. What?! The man says he wants to be the President of the United States, and the person ahead of him in the polls is being investigated by the FBI for possible crimes committed when she used a secret, unauthorized, unsecure email server, and then deleted tens of thousands of messages before investigators could review them. And Sanders effectively takes this issue off the table by claiming (wrongly) that everyone is sick and tired of hearing about it?

Something is very fishy here. That is simply not what a candidate does if he truly wants to win the nomination. I have a feeling Senator Sanders took a dive to clear the way for Mrs. Clinton. He is only pretending to run for president and is now engaged in running interference for her. When he spouts far-left Socialist ideas, by contrast her Socialist-Lite views seem moderate. 

I wonder what high-level cabinet position in the Hillary administration has been promised to Sen. Sanders?
