There's a report in Politico today that begins this way:
If Bernie Sanders were elected president, his supporters would “shoot every third person on Wall Street,” former President Bill Clinton joked on Friday.
Clinton said he was just joking, but clearly he wasn't. Indeed, he's said things like this on previous occasions. Bill can recognize the irrational hatred that many of the Sanders supporters have towards Wall Street. Think about that. Wall Street is just an industry that raises capital for businesses so that they can prosper and create jobs, wealth and prosperity. And that's a bad thing? In what universe?
Of course, the article the continues by reporting that Bill Clinton "defended his wife’s record of supporting financial reforms like the Dodd-Frank Act, which he said helped reduce the number of people working on Wall Street."
Wait, Clinton thinks it's a GOOD thing to reduce the number of people with jobs on Wall Street? Fewer high paying jobs in a successful industry is a GOOD thing?
Does reality ever intrude on the Democrats? I surely never seems to be so.
