Let me say something here that may not go down well with some people who support Sanders and are following American elections.
Sanders can never be US president just like Trump. Reason is simple.
For Sanders, it's a popular way to go against Wall Street and paint them as the devil, you win the support of democratic liberals and students, that's what they want to hear, but it does not translate to votes at general elections.
Independents are too smart to be carried away with that argument.
The reason is simple, most independents are realist. Wall Street is a representation of Capitalism.
It is a monster you can only curse, abuse and hate, but you cannot defeat. Let's face it and be realistic, all this talk about Wall Street determining and influencing congressmen, insurance, banking, pharmaceuticals is all scrap.
The American political system itself is a creation of Wall Street. With the collapse of the Soviet Union and her Marxist econometrics in 1989, and the gradual economic marriage between Chinese model socialist economics and the free market economy, capitalism is here to stay whether we like it or not.
The earlier Bernie Sanders and his democratic liberals understand this fact, the better he should stop getting angry at Wall Street and governments interventions on tax breaks for the rich and mega Corporations.
In life, there are some necessary evil we all acknowledge are evil and are detrimental to society, but we can do nothing about it, so we learn to live with it.
One of the necessary evils is Wall Street, if you cannot beat a man to his game, respect yourself and join him.
Hillary has a better message. She acknowledges Wall Street and accepts contributions from them, but also identifies with the poor masses who are being exploited daily by Wall Street.
So long as the crumbs from the table of Wall Street is able to address basic social assistance, support public utilities, provide basic assistance to the poor and needy, as a small antelope, let's stop flexing our muscles with a roaring lion.
Hilary understands that irony of life. That's smart politics.
