20. I agreed with everything on this clip except writing in Bernie when Hillary was the nominee.

I voted for Bernie in the Primary, but the obvious threat of Trump made it a no brainer to vote for Hillary in the General.

It is deplorable what the DNC is doing, they have clearly sold us out. Loyalty is admirable and good as long as they remain loyal to you! In this case they have not, not at all.

If Trump is still in office by the next presidential election I do not think he will run. If he runs the Republicans will run someone against him. His mental illness seems to have taken a turn for the worse in the last couple of weeks, but I do not expect they will remove him until they have no choice. By then something really terrible will have happened and it will be too late.

In 2020 I will be supporting anyone who is not taking the corporate money. I think the majority of Americans are fed up with the corruption. In 2016 the Trump voters were also fed up with the corruption in their party and latched onto Trump because he blatantly lied to them and because he claimed to not be influenced by the donations since he claimed he was not taking donations.

We need to demand Publicly Funded Elections, ending the Revolving Door, and no more Super PACs or Dark Money. This is the root problem that is causing and/or exacerbating most of our problems in this country!
