The fact that Bernie is funded by the people really means something.

I think it's a revolutionary act and the most important thing about his campaign.

The fact that politics as usual, such as a Comcast Lobbyist hosting an HRC fundraiser produces a response from a large number of Democrats along the lines of "meh" is upsetting to me.

"meh" has taken us to the edge of destruction and
we have reached the point of no return.

Billionaires are openly trying to buy elections, and the most you get from Democrats is mild criticism.

Hillary solution is to raise a couple of billion dollars from the wealthy

“If it turns out to be Jeb versus Hillary we would love that and either outcome would be fine,” one top Republican-leaning Wall Street lawyer said over lunch in midtown Manhattan last week. “We could live with either one. Jeb versus Joe Biden would also be fine. It’s Rand Paul or Ted Cruz versus someone like Elizabeth Warren that would be everybody’s worst nightmare.”

Her cozy relationship with wall street is dangerous.
China is crashing and we are overdue for a correction.

Only Bernie has the credibility to politically deal with a downturn in the market.
