Another metric for comparison . . . . interesting to think about

We have been so focused on Bernie and how he's doing that, at least for me, there hasn't been much attention put on Hillary.

Think about it, every day we are looking at another Yuuuuuuge Bernie rally, sometimes a number of them in one day. And every day he is out there telling crowds of actual PEOPLE his vision for America.

But there doesn't seem to be a mirror of that on the Hillary side. Has she ever had a large rally? All I recall these last few weeks are reports of the fantastic fund raisers she is holding. And WE, the people, don't actually hear what she is saying.

At least when Bernie holds them, we are all excited to post the links and when they start and feel the excitement. What to the Hillary people have? The talking point that someone paid $350,000 to sit next to her at dinner.

Ponder this, they are both SHOWING US how they want to run America. They are both SHOWING us who their real constituency is.

Bernie is FOR THE PEOPLE (as the constitution tells us that's the kind of government they intended to set up). And Hillary is for the elites, or as Bernie calls them, the Oligarchs. It's in how they organize and who they talk to.
