Reinforcing why the telescopic selection of Clinton was so galling. It suppressed many qualified and new blood candidates from running.
The Democrats ended with an awfully stale candidate, weighed down with her own baggage and that of her husband.
With so many aspiring Democrats not wanting to be seen impeding the Clinton train, the opportunity was grasp by a senior stalwart (independent) to
project his pet ideas. He was, I believe, just enjoying himself.
