[Magdalen] Hilary/Bernie?

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

Meh. There are not serious differences. All that "socialist" concern re
Sen. Sanders is baffling.  The USA has been socialist since the thirties,
and it has been working just fine. What on earth is all the fuss about?
People think socialist means you take all the money from the rich and give
it to the poor.  It don't even think Marx thought of it that way, not that
it makes a fig's difference.
I also have difficulty with a group of people who get worried about stuff
that might take some money from the super-rich.  While that is not likely
to happen in any case, heck, it's not as if they would in fact miss it. And
the poor could use some relief.
"But, but -- but, the rich will go to some other country where they won't
get taxed so much!"
Name them.  Take a look at them.  I don't really think you have anything to
worry about. Sure, some will, but the vast majority are no fools. They know
it's well worthwhile for them to stay right here, where things actually
work most of the time.

Anyway, I would assume Sanders would work just fine with Hil.
