21. I do not want him to be his own man, that is about what Clinton said

about KowTowing to wall Street donors. I want someone like Bernie who is the people's man. I want democracy , not another smug elitist who always believes the people are just not smart enough to govern themselves. That is why Bernie beats O Malley so much. If he was there fighting Clinton and the oligarchy , I would have a lot more respect for him, but like Clinton, he comes across as arrogant, smug, and self-absorbed. He should pull out now and quit using time during the debates. He keeps saying I did this or I did that but his details are so sketchy , he just loses everyone who is not well acquainted with his resume. He is just too little and much too late. Right now he is like Trump eating up air time which supports Hillary. Pull out now, Martin.
