Statistics from the last debate between these two showed Hillary given more than twice as many minutes and was interrupted less than half the times by moderators compared to Sanders.
Yep, same thing happened tonight

The problem is that nobody knows who will be more dangerous, Wall Street or Bernie himself. His vastly over reactive platform is the classic example of cutting off your nose to spite your face.

We already had a transactional tax in the past and the markets were booming and many countries have it as well. Lots of economists believe it is absolutely necessary. The status quo of giant banks playing casino with the pocketbook of ordinary Americans is the real danger here. To defend crony capitalism as it stands is the path to ruin for everyone. Only an outsider not beholden to the vested interests can change this.

If the media wanted to make Bernie into an "outsider hero," like they did with Trump and Obama, it would have been very easy to do so.

Of course they can't due to Hillary's ties to Wall Street and the corporations who own the mass media.

Welcome to America.

Welcome to America.

But the fact that Bernie -- who on paper should NEVER be a good candidate for President -- is still in this race simply points out what most of us have known all along: Hillary Clinton has all the appeal of a turd in a punch bowl.

On a positive note, Hillary really looked old tonight. If she actually does get elected, I doubt she will survive four years.

Ones already has a precedent set...the other, not.


You can get transcripts on the web, by phone or by mail. To request transcripts online, go to IRS.gov and use the Order a Transcript tool. To order by phone, call 800-908-9946 and follow the prompts.

If you need an actual copy of a filed and processed tax return, it will cost $57 for each tax year. Complete Form 4506, Request for Copy of Tax Return, and mail it to the IRS address listed on the form for your area. Copies are generally available for the current year and past six years. Please allow 60 days for delivery.

Roughly 1/2 the country has already voted in these primaries without having seen TheBern's tax transcripts. Every single person in the Sanders campaign, Bernie, his wife, their army of aides, etc., is too busy to make a phone call? Hillary has dozens of years available since the beginning, and she's been much busier the a no-name, back-bench, do nothing senator from the tiny state of Vermont...

Can you actually show that break down instead of pulling statistics out of the air ???
