I guess I missed Clinton's involvement in this. Where exactly in the article does he say that? 2banon Jul 2015 #12

Me too. I think if Bernie doesn't want to be considered a socialist, he shouldn't say DanTex Jul 2015 #13

I edited my previous post you responded to, where I correct myself and added my take on it.. 2banon Jul 2015 #14
