...when in reality they lack the will because they are bought-and-paid for robots who are beholden to their corporate masters.
I want a President who is free to serve "We The People" and not hampered by the truckloads of bribes that they took from Wall Street, the private-prison system, the health-insurance companies, and other powerful interests.
I like my politicians with no outstanding debts to people who have NO business being all up in our democracy.
