In reply to the discussion: Robert Scheer: Go Ahead, Back Hillary Clinton and Forget All About Her Record [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)14. Is there any reason other than her campaign cash to support Hillary over Bernie?
None of the Hillary supporters seem to be able to verbalize about that reason.
Money -- more important than anything else?
Bernie: You mean the guy who cares about people?
Hillary: You mean the woman who cares about money?
When I talk to Hillary supporters, I note great fear of Republican money.
I just think that human values can prevail over money values any day. It's just a matter of working together.
As Bernie says, when we are united, we can do anything.

How does that factor in to this? We're talking about "the people's" donations.

It baffles me that you think Hillary wouldn't select a pro corporate person for the SCOTUS.

You obviously are out of touch with the poeple. Go to the streets and start talking to people.
