16. My opinion and we all know how that goes.....

Is not only right out the box running but realistically he did not have the 20+ years of in your face pandering She had but he also did not have the benefit of having a spouse as a past potus.

Her, Inc. Was allowed to define public perception of an unknown candidate and they did this as well as everything else bearing her/their fingerprints.

If Sanders had begun his rise as democratic candidate 2 years ago vs 1, we would had a very different outcome with that demographic I do believe. There would have been time to counter the lies and have the truth well known and publicized.

I've come to the conclusion that most of the public are happy to be hand fed sheep and expect room service instead of going out to the forest to catch a meal. And if we had looked at the majority of the electorate as She/they do and operate under those rudimentary and simple rules, there would have been deeper in-roads made. STILL, we would need more than this 1 year to do it and that just isn't enough.

Onward!
