Hoping For Sanders Versus Trump

HILLARY CLINTON GETS PAID trillions of dollars annually by America's financial services industry, people like Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street financial firms, for who knows what, but probably not to reform the financial services industry. More likely, she gets paid to not reform it, and to urge others not to. Bernie Sanders has suggested that this arrangement tends to decrease Hillary's potential value as a progressive economic reformer, and Hillary supporters take great offense to this obvious truth. Sanders is not allowed, as a Senator, to take such money for making appearances and representing the interests of billionaires, so Hillary supporters think his accusation is unfair, which is nonsense. Of all the good people seeking the American presidency, only Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are not owned and controlled, lock, stock, and barrel, by corporate America and its billionaires owners. It is amazing that a man like Sanders ever got elected to the U.S. Senate, becuase he is the only politician in America who tells the truth, and talks about important issues. (Trump talks about nothing, and lies like a dog). If Hillary happens to end up in the "clinker", where Donald Trump thinks she belongs, an election featuring Sanders and Trump would be a match of the socialist redistributor of wealth versus the billionaire. We have, in America, far more people who would benefit from a socialistic redistribution of wealth than we have avaracious, keep what you earn billionaires, (billionaires be warned). Trump, fully aware of this, also doubtless realizes that he can propose all sortsa socialistic redistributionist policiies, and get some poor working folks on his side, without doing his own wealth any substantial damage. Trump is accustomed to making money, then losing it, then making it back again. He feels no desperate urge to protect what he has. Trump vs. Sanders. The very matchup would constitute a political revolution in America, a revolt against the hierarchy of the two party system. Viva le revolution!
