The Beandocks Cuco: Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton in the New Hampshire primary. How diverse is New Hampshire anyway? Eddie: If the Oscars Academy was a state, it would be called "New Hampshire."
This is true, but Bernie also did very well in Nevada, a much more diverse state. In fact, he did slightly better than Obama did in the primaries there in 2008. He still needs to be quite clear that matters of race, gender, and the like—not just purely economics—make many folks’ lives harder in this country. And he has been doing this. He just needs to do it more, while continuing to put forward his core message: the game is rigged against us normal folks, and the out-of-control hoarding of wealth by the tiny few needs to be reined in.
Sanders will do much better if he points out that Hillary:
1. According to her tax returns, which she recently release, she is in the upper half of the top 1% of wealth in this country.
2. She is a top corporate layer that was on the board of director of Wall-Mart for 6 years. You can be much more of a Wall Streeter than that.
3. She payed $6.3 million dollars for her house last year.
4. She has revived hundreds of thousand of dollars from the biggest banks in the county for service render inducing $600,000 for one speaking engagement.
kind of like the middle class (disappearing) and the poor (growing) have done so well recently? how many of those wall street fraudsters are in in jail now? one? sorry dude, but hilliary is bought and paid for by wall street, and on the international level, pick a country run by a despot, see how much money they have dumped into the clinton foundation.

Agrestic — very clear and well-thought out comments. When I read comments like yours, I have greater faith in this country.

Do you love Hillary because you are one of the rich Wall Streets tycoons like her?
