of Goldman Sachs. Yep, Sanders is part of the establishment. It really isn't bad, Sanders is handling it well.

Sometimes when one chooses to make accusations against others and then he associates himself with Goldman Sachs it will come back to haunt him. This happened more than once also. Don't go fund raising with Wall Street companies and say others are doing the same. Now he is "establishment" also. Be for campaign finance reform, it is another issue he and Hillary share.

There is little doubt that Bernie was correct when he said that.

I remember when Obama said something to the effect, It isn't fraud if it isn't illegal. It was at that moment I realized I had made a serious error in judgment.

Is this the way we want the financial services industry to operate? Really? Hillary supporters, you're alright with this?
