Even if she didn't return to public office, everyone in public service gets the message. If you do the bidding of special interest, there will be a pot of gold when you leave office.

What I find disgusting about the Clintons is that they keep coming back for more. When is their fortune enough? And haven't they done enough damage already.

Thank you, daleanime.

The first thing I'm told when one of our "sensible" Democrats tries to sell me on Hillary Clinton is that she is better than a Republican. Well, I agree that she's better than reprobates offered the Party of Reagan and Bush the Frat Boy, that has has not been anything resembling the party of Eisenhower for decades. To a man, Republican politicians are corrupt down to their socks. Yes, Mrs. Clinton is better than that, but not much better.

The wheels are coming off her campaign the same way they came off in 2008 and for the same reasons. She will not own up to her past mistakes. In 2008, it was her IWR vote, for which she steadfastly refused to apologize at that that time. In 2016, it's her coziness with Wall Street banks, which are corrupt down to the steel and girders and their glass windows through which their executives, all corrupt down to their expensive business suits and red silk ties, should jump.

Hillary Clinton crashed and burned in 2008 to a candidate who delivered populist rhetoric. In 2016, she is about to crash and Bern, again to a candidate who also delivers speeches peppered rhetoric, except that unlike Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders means every word of it.

Power to the people. Feel the Bern.
