When a politician is in opposition he is an expert on the means to some end; and when he is in office he's an expert on the obstacles to it.

A response to the rash of C.S. Lewis quote abuse in the service of yep, you guessed it, (yawn) the Trillary saga. ——- On the other hand we do want, and want very much, to make people treat Christianity as a means; preferably, of course, as a means to their own advancement, but, failing that, as a means to anything—even to social justice. The thing to do is to get a person at first to value social justice as a thing which the Enemy (God) demands, and then work them on to the stage at which they value Christianity because it may produce social justice. For the Enemy will not be used as a convenience. People or nations who think they can revive the Faith in order to make a good society might just as well think they can use the stairs of Heaven as a short cut to the nearest chemist’s shop. Fortunately it is quite easy to coax humans round this little corner. You see the little rift ? “Believe this, not because it is true, but for some other reason.” That’s the game, Your affectionate uncle SCREWTAPE (Elder Demon) - C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

George Stephanopoulos asked the obvious question to Sen. Sanders about The Clinton Foundation and the senator from Vermont turned it around and focused on the bigger issue of the attempt by billionaires to rig the electoral process in order to buy the government. Any media types who intend to use Bernie Sanders to attack Hillary Clinton are going to be very disappointed. Sanders has made it clear that he is not going to run negative ads against Clinton, and he despises personal attack politics. In his first 24 hours as a candidate, Bernie Sanders raised more money than Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Rand Paul. Unlike the Republicans, Sen. Sanders doesn’t have a billionaire sugar daddy writing big checks for a shadowy super PAC. Bernie Sanders is being powered by the people.
