      Democrats were never going to learn because they’re paid by the same donors as Republicans. Same as it was with Clinton, it’s always a swing to the right to try to capture the middle. They don’t give a damn about workers or the left. They know who butters their bread.

      It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.
