5. I agree 100%.

I don't even expect a candidate who holds views close to my own to enter the democratic primaries. The closest to that was back when Rev. Jesse Jackson ran in the 1980s. It was interesting that, when exposed to Jesse's presentations (rather than the media defining him), a significant number of people began to support him. His support expanded far beyond what the media believed possible, despite the establishment's attempts to knee-cap his campaigns.
