could lose it for us due to all the Hillary hate that has mounted for years. A whole different attitude develops when one is a multimillionaire, hanging with other multimillionaires and accepting huge contributions from them. Is she more focused on their needs and issues than she is with the poor and middle class? How can any democrat oppose what Bernie supporting?

BTW... besides regulating donations made to candidates we need to pass legislation that makes it illegal to profiteer from our democratic elections. It's the media's gravy train and they would run it all year long if they could forcing politicians to raise the huge amounts of money they demand. No political ads until 3mos before an election. Equal free time for parties and candidates since we own the air waves and this is the fundamental process for a functioning democracy. It's the first mistake which leads to corruption when the process demands huge sums of money to run for office due to people profiteering from the process. Call it the "Free Elections bill" No more profiteering from our elections.
