And its fascinating that what you get from it is something he never claimed. So you yourself realized that Bernie is NOT Clinton. Good spot! His position that the richest nation in the history of the world should be able to at least keep up with other democracies in regards to healthcare, education, and campaign finance, are truly NOT what the "no we can't" candidate is saying. Bravo.
