It is an article from last year, still relevant now.
The Democratic favorite wants to recast herself as a populist, but her ties to banking elites simply run too deep

If I really broke it down, I probably gained the most the fastest when Reagan was president. But those policies are many of my worst problems now. Not a good way to judge a president.

She is no populist. Bernie is.

(5,737 posts)To get ANY change moving, at the very least, there will have to be a Democrat majority in the Senate. Bernie has done NOTHING to help and Democrats running for the Senate. He has helped three people running for House seats and that is it. It will take that Democrat majority in the Senate to get a SCOTUS justice through. Then real change can start to happen. How the devil did Bernie neglect to figure how to get that Democrat majority in the Senate????? Seems like Bernie has been too busy talking instead of working for that Senate majority. While some people, and maybe yourself, and Bernie condemned that George Clooney fundraiser - none of the money went to HRC by the way, that money went to Democrat running for the Senate primarily. Even George knows that the Senate has to turn before things can happen. Why didn't Bernie understand that?

You guys crack me up!!
H is running as a Wall Street representative. She said so in the debate.
Go fly a kite.
And of course we all know the terrific things the doc has done for Bernie. Helpin' him with the database 'n all.
