BS would just circle back to his "millionaire and billionaires" "the 1% versus the 99%", "the system is rigged" "free college" "$15 minimum wage", all fine goals, but where's the beef Bernie? No details, no foreign policy and until just recently, no real immigration reform.

Why with HRC all but locked in for the nominee, would she want to be excoriated by FOX News vipers that just want to tear her down? Great decision.
