Bankster crooks (still at it), Citizens United, wealth inequality, bought politicians, lazy (often lying) media, union busting, manufactured crises (S.S. going broke) charter schools, foreclosures, unemployment (un)fair wages... it should be a shoo-in for the Democrats in 2016.

We desperately need a champion - I've said this before. I am not enthusiastic about Hillary and was hoping Elizabeth Warren might be that champion of the middle class. But if it's not to be her, we must retain the Senate and flush the House of as many Teahadists as possible next year. That would certainly pave the way for a Democratic victory in 2016.
