but if it wasn't for his rascist anti undocumented worker tirades and his wanting to bomb the shit out of isis, he wouldn't be a bad candidate.

sadly, he is one of the better ones on that side, at least in terms of not being owned and being fairly moderate on choice and health care

by the logic of the post trump is more likely to regulate wall street than anyone. We all know that is not true though, why? Because your qualifier (money wall street has given to candidates) is only one of at least a couple of factors for someones propensity towards wall street. How do we know this is true? Because by your post Trump is more likely to regulate wall street than anyone and we know he is not going to do that. What you are doing is playing the elitist card, and badly.

I disagree with that. Medicare for all? Regulate the banks? Increase min wage?. That is just 3 off the top of my head. I think both would do a good job, I like sanders positions more but that doesn't mean Clinton is in the bag for banks or a warmonger or any other such silly things I see here.
