I absolutely resent

that rural Iowa, tiny New Hampshire, largely vacant Nevada and two states from the deep south choose the nominees for POTUS. What about New York, California (that has the 8th largest economy in the world), Ohio, Illinois and even bat-shit crazy Florida do not get say on who runs.

it's stupid. There should be a single national primary or multiple primaries that make up a demographics of the entire country.

Dear Hillary....

Dear Hillary: I am a white female over 65. I was on the front lines of civil rights and the feminist movement working hard for the ERA including one-on-one written arguments with horrid Phyllis Schfly.

Last fall I was Hillary all the way. Not any more. I am supporting Bernie Sanders because of:

- The white lies and outright deceit, distortions, dishonesty, disinformation, fabrications, falsehoods, etc. from the your campaign and/or proxies. One would think that after all of the lies & half-truths spread about YOU - you would be more cognizant of what is said on your behalf.

- What appears to me the lack of integrity and trustworthiness (see above).

- Your ties to Wall Street as well as their donations (with strings) to the Clinton Foundation

- Your friendship and acceptance of advice from vile war criminal Henry Kissinger.

- The odious actions of the DNC under Debbie Wassermann-Schultz for your benefit which are reminiscent of the GOP in Congress and Lee Atwater.

- The rigged system of Super Delegates which insults my intelligence and sense of fair play.

- The disrespect shown by Wassermann-Schultz shown to Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.

- The rigging of audience participation and questions in the debates/town hall meetings by Wassermann-Schultz in your favor.

- The deafening silence from your camp re actions of Wassermann-Schultz.

- Bill's off- the-cuff statements about Bernie Sanders. What were you thinking, Bill?

- You are starting to remind me of Margaret Thatcher.

- The attempt by your surrogates to spread misrepresentations regarding Bernie Sanders that served no useful purpose whatsoever to further discussion of the issues.

- For me, the above and other actions cemented my support of Bernie Sanders.
