Bernie better watch out Hillary has leashed out her hit squad.

Has Clinton Dispatched Oppo Researchers to UVM's Sanders Archive?

This is why her support is faltering.

What don't you like about him other than his label, what specific proposals do you dislike.

If by some fluke , hole in the universe, Ron Paul had been elected, he would have united Congress, against him. Same would happen if Bernie got elected.

Again, with the low approval rating of Congress, uniting them against you is not necessarily a bad thing. You are assuming Congress would come out on top here.

If someone like Sanders or Paul would go on television and state that they want to do things that are popular with the country and the Congress says they are simply not going to go along with that, well, it might be the shake up we need.

The top priority of every politician is fundraising for themselves and party.

The Koch a Brothers are long time opponents of campaign disclosure laws. They have announced their funding network will spend almost $ 1 billion on the 2016 election. The public will never know the sources or country of origin of donations.

In 2012, the Sheldon Adelson family donated $100 million to the Romney campaign. Adelson also arranged $50,000 a plate dinners in Israel. Both Romney and Paul Ryan independently flew into Israel for these dinners to reward wealthy donors with promises.

Donors at this level expect a return on their investment.

Political corruption is as bipartisan as it gets. And no one sits the oval or Congress without substantial obligation to their donors.

Not what the polls say right now.

Out walking the dog with my husband last night and I asked if he saw the crowds Bernie was drawing. He responded " Bernie who? "

At this point in time polls depend mostly on name recognition. That's why Trump soared in the polls

Romney outspent Obama.

He would not have been nominated if he had not proven he was the most capable fund raiser in the pack.

Digging up / twisting the dirt on the opponent is what the primaries are all about.
The opposing teams then use the dirt in the national campaign.

Bonus points for fabricated/ embellished controversies.

This is how we roll in the U.S.
