There is nothing to support the corrupt meme that the RW started. I believe there is an underlying societal bias against older women. And that is seeping out into this election. Clinton is held to a much higher standard than anyone else. Sanders talks in generalities and people fawn and cheer. Clinton gives specifics on her platform and many on DU jeer. Clinton has excelled in everything she has ever done--Sanders is mediocre.

Money in politics is an issue. I don't want Koch electing our President. But, the money in politics is no more a problem with Clinton than any other democrat.
