Replacing Corporate Oligarchy With Corporate Capitalism

THE REPUBLICANS DISMISS Bernie Sanders as "crazy", and Hillary Clinton calls him impractical, unrealistic, and uneducated. Well, whatever. What Bernie Sanders wants to do, mainly, is break up the too big to fail banks and financial services corporations, the ones we bailed out nearly a decade ago because they had all run themselves out of business, and we the American people would simply have suffered too much to let that happen. The fact is that everybody wants to break up the financial services cartel, with the possible exception of those who are wealthy only because of its existence. But, of all the presidential candidates, only Bernie Sanders seems to be talking about it. If he doesn't know how he would do it, fine, just tell folks he'll figure that part out later, and move on. No harm in admitting ignorance, only in an unwillingness to correct it. The process would of course involve government regulatory anti-trust rulings, followed by a veritable avalanche of high powered and potentially exciting law suits, leading to a resolution of some sort, far in the future. So, what are we waiting for? Nobody really seems up for it, save Bernie, yet another indication that he is the best candidate, the only truly good one, should be elected, and very well might be, depending on how well the millennials turn out. How anyone imagine either Cruz or Trump not running? If the feds indict Hillary, and Obama doesn't stop them, then Bernie will become president, as Cruz and Trump cancel each other out. No other scenario will get the job done of replacing corporate oligarchy with corporate capitalism. The result would be worth it. To anyone who saw the latest Hillary-Bernie debate, its obvious; those two are either on the verge of hating each other, or already do. Soon thy'll be as hateful as Cruz-Trump. Obviously, both Trump and some "other republican" are going to run in November, as is, most obviously, Hillary. Only Bernie gets left out. But why? Why not have Bernie stay in it, form a new social labor party, and beat all three of them?
