http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/feb/20/donald-trump-bernie-sanders-nevada-caucuses-us-housing-crisis-foreclosure-wall-streetMark is going to vote for Donald Trump. But he says he could live with Bernie Sanders as president. I really think Trump has the knowledge. Theres a lot of support for Trump among the people I know. But I like Sanders, too. If we have to have a Democrat, I really hope its him and not Hillary. ... I dont know about Sanders but hes honest, Clintons just about the money.
...
Toward the end of Brown Street, a foreclosed house is being refurbished for sale. Victor Rodriguez is working on the kitchen. Hes 34 and was born in Mexico City but is a naturalised American citizen. He said there is no way he is voting for Trump. That guys a fucking idiot. To be honest with you, Id be an idiot too if I had his kind of money. I dont want him to be president of my country. If he becomes president, Im going back to where I came from, Rodriguez said. Im not voting, If I did, Id vote for Sanders. Ive got faith in Sanders. Hes telling it like it is. But theyll never let Sanders win. The result is already fixed.
...
A couple of blocks away, Craig Johnson, a hotel worker, lost his house when the mortgage rate skyrocketed, nearly doubling his payments, just as the value of his home dropped by two-thirds. So he walked away from the property. Now he rents and will be voting for Sanders. Until I lost my home, I never knew how the system worked with Wall Street and all that. I still dont understand it, but now Im aware of it and I know enough to see that its this system where even when they screw up the economy they get rich. Bernies the only one talking about changing that. Hillarys been bought off by them. The Clintons have always been about money for themselves.
...
This whole citys built on greed the idea you can win big, Johnson said. Wall Street is the house, and it always wins. Bernie wants to change that. I hope he does, but the casinos didnt get rich by letting the punters win.

make the odds and votes, I wish I could of talked more people not voting in Nevada, who by the way were 90% ( or I'd vote for Bernie, I believe what he says ,but they'll never let him win ) that they could be the vote to screw up Their well laid plans .
