I have very similiars views to those of Hillary, Bernie, and Elizabeth. asuhornets Apr 2016 #74

In some areas they might think alike. For instance, I don't think Hillary would nominate Cal33 Apr 2016 #79

He raised over $160 million, where he hurt at?...eom asuhornets Apr 2016 #85

That money came from individual donations, certainly not from the DNC. Read above. floriduck Apr 2016 #87

Dumb question. The answer's within it. KPN Apr 2016 #30
