This campaign isn't about the Democrats vs the Republicans. [View all]

It is about the Wall Street bankers and other oligarchs against the people on both sides who are sick and tired of the establishment picking their pockets.

Wall Street doesn't want another New Deal. They've spent the last 70 years pounding nails into the old one.

This is why, I think, when focus groups said Bernie won the debate, that was silenced.

This is why, when Bernie supporters began to post on CNN's Facebook after CNN declared Clinton the winner, CNN deleted the posts.

This is why, Chris Matthews, the original American exceptionalist, had nothing good to say about Bernie, and in fact referred to him as 'this guy calling for a revolution...'

This is why Wasserman Schultz is hanging on tight while under increasing attack from other high ranking members of the DNC.

Well, they've got the money. We've each got one vote. We'll see how it goes.

So there you have it. My opinion in all its glory.
