and his 1988 campaign platform is almost identical to Hillary's and Birnie's. I can't link it from Wikipedia but it is worth checking out.

If he ran today I would vote for him.

Both of his runs were unforgettable, really. The 80s were such a barren time politically and he filled an enormous void.

The question starts at 3:30. He immediately points to economic insecurity as a key factor. He's a very compassionate man.
