8. "Wall Street" cannot donate to candidates -- only individual donors can

This is a non-story ... trying to appeal to self-righteousness which can be suicidal.

Campaigns take cash. Cash is cash -- whether it comes in $27 chunks or $100 or $2800.

This implies (with nefarious innuendo) that somehow Bernie or Warren do not get any $2800 contributions and all their money comes in coins emptied from piggybanks.

Nice try.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
