To the left of both O and Hill on ISIS and Wall Street

Sanders: Clinton's pursuit of 'regime change' in Libya helped rise of Isis

Less interventionist than either of them, maybe.

And less soft on Wall Street and the global, neoliberal plutocracy.

Bernie Sanders on politics, Clinton and guns: read the full interview transcript

He is so much less likely than Hill to squander trillions spreading havoc.

So much better on the core progressive concerns to control capitalism for the public good manifest in the regulatory state and the welfare state.

But she could kill him in debates, during which she would show herself a nasty knife fighter.

I fear he could come across as a nice, bumbling old man.

Some people want to be president in order to play a bully role on the world stage.

That's Hill.

Others want chiefly to fix what's broken in America, for Americans.

That's Bern.

It's a question of dosage.
