I have to interject that Hillary's focus has always been politics. It is her chosen career. It always has been. She didn't just jump on the bandwagon for a power trip.

I think she used to be pretty idealistic. I don't think she is any more. Now that she's had a taste of power and the good life, I think she just wants more. More money, more power, more success.

I know you don't agree, but that's all I've seen of her lately.

Its not that I don't agree with that. Probably true. I'm not necessarily a Hillary supporter, I just think she is the most qualified. It's a tough "game". Hopefully, she still has some of those early interests.

I am a Globalist. I do lean socialist, but how can you really be socialist and not be a globalist? My 'location' under my avatar says: "Standing on the Moon". It means seeing the world as a whole.

Of course I want to live in a "Bernie World", but IMO, a lot of work needs to be done globally before it can happen. I don't think the timing is right for Bernie.

Trump? Well, as I said - - I have a brother . . .

See, I think the time is right for Bernie. The rest of the first world countries are living the life that Bernie wants for the U.S. It's time for us to catch up. He wouldn't be able to change everything overnight, or even in our lifetimes. But he can get the process started, and hopefully we can get more presidents like him in the future to continue his work. Small steps forward. With Hillary, I fear it will be the same as Obama - one step forward, two steps back (and too much corporatism and crony capitalism).

As for Trump, yes we are in total agreement there!

That's where I don't agree. I think the rest of the world is going the direction we have/are.

Having a middle class really doesn't seem to be the norm.

The "Bernie" type should have happened instead of Bush "W". It didn't.

We are still animals, survival of the fittest.

Hear Trump Roar! We have a lot of evolving to do.
