73. Not paying close attention?
He proposed "affordable healthcare". This was by no means a single payer system.

He ran on a middle class tax CUT. The expense of which would be offset by a partial roll back of the Bush tax cut for the wealthy. The proposal was set up to be revenue neutral. It was marketed as a tax cut and was entirely consistent with DLC policy.

He was pro-choice, so is the DLC.

He ran on Progressive Internationalism, which includes terms like "global test", "the world", "stronger on defense", "muscular foriegn policy", and "strong alliances". This stuff is right out of the DLC playbook.

Sorry, no sale.
