May 2016

Ralph Nader Bernie Sanders. The first link looks to be from WSJ and Nader talks about the parallels between when HE ran and how close they mimic what Nader had to deal with.

I got a completely DIFFERENT view from what this letter states. AND, Nader was on Thom Hartmann's Show last week or the week before and he seemed to be quite "supportive" of what Bernie Sanders is doing.

I only read one link, but the others seemed to be more of why he supported Sanders.

I might show a very different picture IF ONE wants to GOOGLE IT!
