216. If Hillary Clinton is embarrassed by something in her Wall St speech transcripts
Sun Feb 28, 2016, 01:57 PM
Feb 2016

...that wouldn't mean most of her campaign is meaningless. Maybe the fraction of her campaign about getting tough on Wall St.

If Bernie Sanders doesn't care about Single Payer health care, free tuition, increasing the number of jobs, etc. that would mean most of his campaign is meaningless.
