The super delegates from DNC in my state is telling. One has PR firm that has clients such as big pharma, Comcast, Verizon, Energy companies, fracturing gas drilling service companies. Another is a lawyer who's clients are medical insurance providers. The last is in real estate and works with casino, gambling, and horse race industries.

I guess it goes without saying... they endorse Hillary.

The real Democrats who were here before the party got co-opted, stand on the side of the people.

It is amusing to me and very telling that Hillary started her campaign talking about helping the Middle Class. All of a sudden now about a month ago she started using the words "Working Families". She got schooled by the success of the Sanders campaign and has finally caught on and noticed this group.. The next final step will be when she starts talking about "The Poor".

Sanders courageously uses that word because it is spot on about what has been going on in this country the last 40 years, a giant sucking sound of money going upstairs to the top 10%. Kudos to Sanders for reminding everyone that people are POOR and very tired of it.
