both Hillary, and yes, to a large extent Saunders.

This is NOT a matter of trying to win people's hearts, or their minds. If there was logic, then people would wonder how come the Rich Good ol boys were always the ones making the money. It it was a matter of the heart, then racism would have died long ago. The only thing that stops racism is a combination of truth and shame, NEITHER of which is a simple matter of money. Oh yes, Money is a major part of it, and it will take the sort of coin that neither the Cruzes nor Hillarys of the world are willing to spend. However, there is an aspect of racism that is just plain old, suicidal malice, an outright addiction, no less than nicotine or cocaine, and addictions only die when someone hits bottom, something that has not happened to the bigots, because the politicians know there is money and power to be made by becoming a co-dependent.
