Fine. So they need to work out the details. I've watched 8 of them, plus the Republican debates. No wonder I'm going a little cuckoo. Then there were several Town Meetings with both candidates, not to mention the numerous times they've appeared in TV interviews. Maybe my TV is set to the Bernie channel, but it's odd that he complains about lack of coverage when I see his face everywhere.

I would hope by now most voters have made up their minds after nearly a year of campaigning. Back in January, the DNC agreed to add 4 more debates to the schedule. The one in April was supposed to be in PA, which makes more sense to me than New York, because there are 5 states voting in primaries on the 26th.

Not so easy for the anointed one after all.
Agreed and a LOT of people thought the same about Jeb on the Repub side.

Super PAC money is bad news for both sides. We have embedded billionaires underhandedly steering our elections.

He is quite likeable, unlike Clinton.
Agreed.

You have been brainwashed by Sanders' rhetoric... Only 28% of her campaign finance came from Super PAC and other groups.

Then please post where 28% comes from. I can see who are her top donors and am fully aware who she works for. But please tell me more about her campaign finances.

And you try to deflect my question, did you not want to talk about where Clinton gets her money? I don't care where Cruz or Kasich get their money because they are Republicans. I expect their money to come from Wall Street and big oil, that is why I don't vote for them.

If you don't want to talk about Clinton's campaign financing, just say so rather than waste my time with silly deflections. I can understand why it would be a topic you wouldn't want to discuss because you probably can't admit to yourself that Hillary works for Wall Street, not the American people.
