and who would you prefer?
Can't answer other than:
1. Someone who isn't a lawyer.
2, Someone who hasn't been in Washington, and made a lifetime commitment of screwing people over for a vote.
3. Someone who isn't full of snip.
Which pretty much cuts out Sanders,,Clinton,Trump,Rubio,Bush, and the rest.
If THAT is the best this country has to offer?
That's just pathetic.
I don't idolize politicians unlike Sanders,Clinton, and Trump supporters.

You do know Wall Street is where millions of American middle class, union workers, and government employees have their pensions invested ?
Really is amazing how Sanders supporters think Sanders is for the middle class, and yet he, and his followers actively support taking money out of their own pockets.
Increasing that so called 'wealth gap'.
I guess the alternative minimum tax, and the medicare capitol gains surtax wasn't enough.
More taxes on the middle class!

Why do you assume no one is aware of that? We're adults too.
We are sick and tired Wall Street gambling with our damned pensions because there is no regulation, Neo.
Look what happened leading up to 2008
Nothing defines establishment politics better than a Democrat who takes money from the same interest that harm core constituencies of the Democratic Party.
