14. I think the difference is where they are each coming from

Hillary is a globalist and corporatist and has no problem in the existing system of money running politics. Bernie wants to end all that so it is really "grass roots" (meaning people driven, not money driven).

I don't believe the people supporting Hillary have a real sense of who she is and what she stands for. Bernie has been absolutely consistent in his time in office. He does not sway his message depending on who he is talking to, or who is paying to promote him. He is a staunch supporter of the middle and lower classes. Hillary is a supporter of corporate and global policy. Although I think she tries to not expose that side of her as much as Bill did. Bill really hurt this country with some of his policies. I don't see her as being different from him.
