6. And that is the difference between Hillary supporters and Bernie supporters...

Hillary supporters are concerned with their own pocket. Bernie supporters want us all to thrive.

unless you don't mind them parking your money into worthless schemes like subprime mortgage-backed securities without your knowledge. and have rules in place to protect borrowers from predatory lending etc.

10. Sounds like he wants them to be sustainable and successful

Which seems to be "on their side" to me.

Actually I'm fairly certain O'Malley and Clinton want that too.

11. Or at least thats what Hillary says she wants.

her voting record seems to indicate something else.

I don't trust her inconsistency, and that she takes money from the very banks she claims she would regulate doesn't help.

and there were many other financial companies involved too between the two towers. Horrible day in every way. Schumer and Clinton did good for NY. She has said that she feels that is part of the reason for the ongoing support.

Just cause you repeat something 1000 times doesn't make it true.

17. I don't know this to be the truth, though I have seen it over and over.

If true, you don't need to think as hard as you are. The answer is simple. Just like many of us, they do better under a strong economy.

Many, including myself, believe Sanders libertarian support is there for one and only one reason; they believe he will destroy the economy. That little aspect goes without mention. I believe that is because I don't think it is just his libertarian support that believes it. I believe many support him for that very personal reason. They feel the economy can't be built in their vision unless the current system completely crumbles. Sanders is more of a means to their goal.
