14. What could Hillary possibly add that Bernie isn't already bringing to the table?

His 12 point plan is everything human beings want and need, unless you're a billionaire, or ideologue.

In a nutshell, I think Hillary is being nice to the powers that be in order to garner their acceptance, while Bernie has absolute principals that he will not compromise.

Somethings are not worth compromising, like health care, a smaller military, a fresh infrastructure, affordable education.
