31. The Democrats offer him anything on a par with the Republican Party or Breitbart.

He chose that route for reasons that are diametrically opposite of Democratic ideology, now he wants Dems to remake their platform to suit him? Nah, it doesn't work like that. When a person makes a grave, unearned error, despite being warned of the dangers, he doesn't get to start making demands on the party he maligned for years.

Better he should show some humility and a little contrition, admit his error, apologize sincerely, ask for a pardon, and then join the party without any preconditions. That's how life works, he does,'t get a free pass just because his light bulb finally switched on.
