The underlying theme:

economic inequality is the criminal Banksters goal.

Since Hillary is part of them, she must try everything she can to divert attention away from this topic. Bernie bangs this home in every speech to candidly imply the huge difference between them.

Now Hillary is using racism to divert once again her close association with Wall Street crooks by downplaying economic inequality in the AA community.

Her quote, "there are some who say, 'Well racism is a result of economic inequality." I don't believe that." If she doesn't believe that, then call her on it. Let the AA community know that she is against raising people out of poverty because it has no effect whatsoever on racism.

IMO, if she wants to stand solely on social justice to protect her buddy Banksters income stream, make her own it.

I hope Bernie stays on economics and includes social justice as interrelated and is not chased away from this enormous HRC distinction.

Bernie's Gain

If VP Biden jumps in, a dilemma arises as to who does Obama support? If he chooses Biden, then what % of the Clinton AA vote peels off and goes to Biden? As more become aware of Bernie's continual civil rights stances, expect more peel offs.

If Obama stays neutral, how does Hillary hold the AA vote?

If Biden plays the Conservative to allow HRC to slide more left, he still peels off votes from Hillary making her more vulnerable. Either way, Biden in or Biden out Bernie's campaign will grow.

50 states, count them all

One goal is retaking the House. Wikipedia has it at 201 (D) vs 234(R) = 33 to flip, plus some Blue Dog betrayers.

33 Congresspeople is 1 change/33 states, 2 flips by 17 states, 3 flips/11 states or 4 changes by 9 states, doesn't seem impossible from this perspective.

Remember Bernie is going after Sanders Repubs (like Reagan Dems) and should make more Red seats competitive, not just a handful those pundits point out.

Expecting serious Populist coattails by Bernie to help with our progressive numbers.

ToS violations?

ToS: No spammers, do not spam DU with commercial advertising or promotions

If someone advertises their business website on the sig line and the website contains their personal contact info with full name, telephone #, email and promotes "ADVERTISING writing services" with "I can offer you business compelling SEO-rich web content, custom blogging and social media services" +work samples is this considered "commercial advertising"?

ToS: Respect People's Privacy - Do not post or LINK to any private/personal info about any person

When someone uses a business website in their sig line that links to personal contact info including full name, telephone # and email to promote their business is this a violation of this TOS.

Also by doing this are they ceding their privacy rights by openly making their contact info easily available on every post they make?

Suggestion for Bernie

Try using a twist on Glass-Steagall. Bankster's gambling is no different from Casino gambling except for the terms used.

Derivatives and Future options are no different than sports bets and table game betting

Banksters try to rig the games by buying off the referees (rating agencies) and compromising the players with mortgage fraud just like in the gambling field.

The difference is, it is well accepted that Casino gambling is a mental illness, an addiction, that requires treatment and Bankster's gambling is a Capitalist dream (IMO a nightmare)

When you bring down the American economy with gambling greed and addiction, these are not sane people. These people need mental help to merge with society, not ruin it.

So my message to Bernie, in these primaries, is not only to break-up the banks but profess and treat the people in the banks for the mental disturbances they possess.
