5. Just like Al Gore would never see the Presidency, Senator Sanders would never see...

...the nomination. The fix was in for both groundbreaking elections.

There have been literally MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of dollars invested in a Hillary Clinton Presidency long before the first primary ballot was ever cast, and the corporations and Lords of Money that have invested in Clinton are going to make sure they see a return on their investment, no matter if she won fair and square... or not. Really didn't matter.

I have said before and I will say again: IF THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY HAD BEEN AN ABSOLUTELY FAIR AND LEVEL PLAYING FIELD, WE WOULD HAVE A DIFFERENT PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE TODAY.

And also as I have stated before, before Bernie Sanders, it was taken as gospel that a candidate had to play the corporate money game to play the political game. Senator Sanders proved THAT IS NOT THE CASE. Senator Sanders proved --much to the consternation of the Lords of Money-- that not only could a grassroots political movement survive, IT COULD THRIVE.

Again, thank you, Senator Sanders.
