we will get through this.

and while most do not like to hear this, he is actually quite centrist/left on many issues....campaign reform, non interventionism, single payer, no tpp. its why he will win. he can run to the right AND the left of hillary if she is the nom.

but we will be ok. the lobbyists and corrupt pols, not so much.
