Bernie Sanders Will Save America From Becoming a 'Coin Flip Democracy'

According to an Intercept article titled Private Prison Lobbyists Are Raising Cash for Hillary Clinton, "As immigration and incarceration issues become central to the 2016 presidential campaign, lobbyists for two major prison companies are serving as top fundraisers for Hillary Clinton."
Yes, private prisons have funded the same candidate who expects to get the majority of the non-white Democrat vote.
Only in America's coin flip democracy.

...
Heads, and we elect the candidate whose experience as Secretary of State resulted in the FBI investigating 22 "Top Secret" emails stored on an unsecured private server. NPR stated last week that "Controversy grew on Friday over emails from Hillary Clinton's private server she used while at the State Department, with the agency announcing several documents would be withheld because they had been deemed top secret."

...
If you flip tails, then you get Bernie Sanders, a man who voted against the Iraq War, while his challenger calls her vote as simply a "mistake." One flip of the coin with tails, and you get a person who has the only positive favorability ratings of any leading candidate in 2016. Tails, and you get Bernie Sanders, a candidate who "destroys" Trump in a general election by a wider margin than Clinton, without any FBI investigations or questions about honesty.

...
Bernie Sanders will save America from becoming a coin flip democracy because his value system is the antithesis of Clinton's coin flip evolution on almost every major topic. In terms of fundraising after Iowa, and delegates, he won the first contest. Now, we're on to New Hampshire, where Bernie Sanders will again show Clinton that political machines lose to the will of the American people. Walker Bragman, another voter who will only be voting Bernie Sanders, illustrates America's choice in this political cartoon in The Huffington Post. If you can look at Bragman's illustration, and say that one candidate isn't simply a Republican with a Democratic name, then you're not following the money. Only one candidate wants to break up the Too Big to Fail banks, and his name is Bernie Sanders.
