Bernie Sanders rolls over a deeply mistrusted Hillary Clinton

Clinton supporters can’t pretend that Sanders’s 21-point margin of victory on Tuesday was due solely to the proximity of Vermont to New Hampshire.

The margin was so wide because this candidate is putting the lie to the Wall Street corruption, the double dealing, and the triangulation that has sold out the Democratic Party and betrayed its voters.

Make no mistake, the momentum in the Democratic race has shifted.

Going into the Nevada caucuses, the South Carolina primary and the Super Tuesday “firewall” on March 1, Clinton will be on the defensive, despite her raft of party endorsements and her putative support among minority voters.

Women have already deserted her and Sanders may be right that once African Americans become acquainted with him and his message, they might desert her, too.

We have had two and a half decades of the Clintons and we’re tired of them. We’re tired of their sophistry (it depends on what the meaning of “is” is), their ambivalences, their greed and their ethical challenges.

And what an awesome article:
"Politics columnist

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Memo to Hillary Clinton: It’s not just about transcripts of your talks with Goldman Sachs, your emails which may or may not have contained classified information, or even what really happened that dark night of the deadly attack on American diplomats in Benghazi.

It’s about the perception of deceit, secretiveness, hypocrisy and an overweening sense of entitlement underlying these controversies. That’s what has voters worried.

After battling to a virtual tie — or perhaps even a stolen victory — in Iowa and a double-digit win in New Hampshire, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has knocked Hillary Clinton off her front-runner perch for the Democratic nomination.

The race against the former first lady, former senator and former secretary of state that no other Democrat was willing to dare is being won by a 74-year-old democratic socialist who is Jewish but doesn’t practice his religion."

Wall Street corruption is behind her, it doesn't mean it will affect her decisions. Wrong! Everyone sees the emperor has no clothes.

"The validation of the Vermont senator’s surging opinion polls in the first two primary contests has punctured the Clinton balloon, pulled back the curtain on the fake wizard — pick your favorite metaphor.

If the Democrats persist in awarding her the nomination, she runs a good chance of losing to the Republican nominee, whether that is Donald Trump or John Kasich or Marco Rubio or whoever. "


She cannot win now, no no matter how her blind supporters want to pretend she's progressive or not a big part of the problem. The curtain is pulled back.

Anyone who cares about corporate corruption running government has already vacated her.

Her current supporters don't care that she's completely owned by Wall Street. They are still hoping not everyone will figure it out. Obviously they're wrong.

and the power elite.

She has shown, time and again, that her real loyalty is to the 1%.

She only flip flops and pretends to care about ordinary Americans when it's politically expedient.

Just like Romney. Etch-a-Sketch. Say WHATEVER IT TAKES and then: too bad, i've changed my mind.
