6. Bernie effective? You might want to read

Ralph Nader's letter accusing him of negligence and extreme ineffectiveness.

I'm just wondering why the SBSers have dragged her out from under the bus. You now know conclusively that she does not endorse Bernie for president and that it clearly could have made all the difference. She was a Republican most of her life, too, so we know she'd never have supported him even in her college days.

What a shame Hispanic progressive Julian Castro wasn't able to work miracles and sell millions of foreclosed homes to nonprofits that didn't want them, or didn't exist. I understand his name is mud now because as HUD Secretary he was required to preside over offloading foreclosed properties to the only entities that could afford them, profiteering banks. Even requiring the new owners to hold them for a full year, in case the defaulted mortgagees could reclaim them before selling (while they continued to deteriorate), didn't rehabilitate him.
