Sanders specifically praised Obama. Not sure about Clinton

Every time Bernie mentions the average donation to his campaign is $27, all I hear is Larry David yelling: "AMERICA, I WANT YOUR VACUUM PENNIES."

I'm with Hillary on the speaking fees thing. Unless somebody can prove she traded favors, it needs to be dropped as a case against her.

It is symptomatic of the differences between them, just showing who Hillary is and is funded by and represents vs Bernie.

I give her enough credit not to boast that the reason she gave this or that really important favour to this or that huge contributor, was because she was bribed...oops, I mean that a campaign contribution was made. Why else give millions of dollars to her campaign, or rather to her Superpac? In Allentown, the mayor (a Democrat by the way) is in danger of indictment because of "Pay to Play." No different on the national level. Isn't that what "campaign finance reform" is supposed to guard against?

Why is it just Hillary who should provide all the transcripts to her speeches?

Hilary sounds soft on banks and wall street.

So you're going to vote for Bernie or Trump then?

True but it's been beat to death. At this point everybody knows what's what .... this isn't going to move any votes

Neither. Can't decide whether to go with Rubio, Christie or Kasich. Leaning to Marco just now. And you?

Probably right, but won't move any votes in her direction either, unless the guy on the other side is an even bigger offender.

Well all those are doing or have done what you just chastised Clinton for doing.

If the CA primary were today I'd vote for Clinton. I wish I could vote in the Republican primary, but they are too closed-minded to allow independents like me to vote in their primary.

You? Independent? The only reason you'd vote in a Republican primary is to try to edge the result toward the least electable candidate. That's why primaries should be closed. Vote for your own poison. Hope it doesn't occur to you to re-register as a Republican in time to screw up our primary.
