Isn't it odd that Clinton and Trump are the likely winners of the Democratic and

13. Yes, I sometimes use the words Corporatist and Republican interchangeably, even though

I know that the Corporatists are the big money-bags who mostly pull the strings from behind
the scenes, and the Republicans have been their puppets for the longest time. Recently, some
of the puppets have begun to rebel, with Trump as their leader.

Democrats, on the other hand, have been against the Corporatists from way back, but more
and more of them have also begun to be financially influenced by the Corporatists since the
time of Reagan - perhaps even of Nixon? Today the Democratic Establishment is composed of
more Corporate Democrats than anything else, and Sanders and Warren are leading a
separate group - the Progressives or Libertarians - that is fighting against being swallowed up
by the Corporatists.

Hillary sometimes describes herself as a Progressive. It's for political reasons, of course. She
is anything but. Yes, she is a Wall-Streeter. I also use the word Corporatist with Wall Street
interchangeably. However, there is some difference between her and a Republican. I don't
think she would nominate a Republican to the Supreme Court. Obama seems to be doing this
now, but I think he is doing it to embarrass the Republicans - it's a game of daring, which, I
think, is both childish and dangerous.

I agree that the Corporatists don't want Trump to win. But Trump is flicking his fingers from
his nose at the Corporatists at the moment. He is financially independent and can afford to do
so. I think Trump is for Trump, and nobody else. I read yesterday that he said if he should
lose, we wouldn't be hearing from him again - ever. No big loss, as far as I am concerned.
In the meantime he is probably having fun leading the Republican part of the rebellion
against the Corporatists.

There isn't much difference between the Republican and Democratic Corporatists. But I hope
Sanders and Warren have started a movement that will unite and give direction to the energies
of the Progressives, and that the movement will continue after she and he will have left the
political scene.
