Most things that happen in campaigns tell us something about people as politicians. This statement told us something about [the] Sanders [campaign] …as human beings. Everything is subordinated to ideology. Basic human impulses are buried. There is only politics, only ideology, only the movement.

…It could still be different for him. If the Democrats take the Senate, he could have more power than he’s ever had, more power than he’s ever imagined. He could be chairman of the Budget Committee. Imagine. That’s power! As any Marxist knows, the budget is what it’s all about.
