anywhere near the WH, you might have a point.

But they will not. Eg, in order to assure the donors, (a Presidential candidate needs a billion dollars now to run for the WH) that she will be a 'good' candidate, she would have to prove to them that she will push policies that benefit them and should their needs clash with the needs of the working class, she will choose THEM.

It isn't about the voters at all. The voters have been told in no uncertain terms to shut up and sit down and since they have 'nowhere else to go', no one has to work to earn those votes. 'Just vote for our candidate because 'the other guy is much worse' is what voters have been told for a long time now.

Do you think that Wall St is going fund a Warren election IF she informs them she will not appoint eg, their choices of Cabinet members, no Corporate CEOs with conflcits of interests, see Wheeler eg?

If we were living in a democracy the voters would choose who wins, but the fact is we don't.
