Tell me why your voting for someone who is bankrolled by big money interests?

See, you may have a opinion about Bernie, but there are blatant FACTS about Hillary which leads people to not want to vote for her.

Before you go and demand answers from Bernie supporters, you should really try to answer some questions about Hillary within that same tone.
