Despite having spent decades in Congress, Bernie doesn’t appear to know that this is how things work. He thinks he can go back to the Senate and get $15 simply by demanding it. Hillary seems content in allowing him to hang onto that fantasy: “Go get me a bill passed like that, and I’ll sign it.” So she’s handing him what he views as a victory right now on the issue, by giving him a pathway to go chase after $15, even though she knows it won’t end up being nearly that high when it eventually lands on her desk.

Thank you, Iaaa~
