We get who we deserve. Our political system has come to the point where it is who can raise/spend the most money wins. Elections are bought and sold like commodities. If you read political commentary, it is like reading the financial pages -- who has the most money, who raised the most last month, who spent the most, who got the most donations from corporate "citizens", etc.

That is why Bernie sent chills down the mainstream pols spines. He wasn't spending that much comparatively and was getting his message out and gaining support outside the power structure. He was a rogue candidate that had to be stopped by both the Republicans and Democrats. He represented an ideal that the Constitution and not capitalism might just win.

Wall Street won. Doesn't matter if it is President Trump or President Clinton -- we live with President Citicorp.
