As you can tell from my avatar, I was - and still am - a big Bernie supporter. I doubted Hillary because she gave all those paid speeches to the big banks.

And that's one reason many people turned away from Hillary, and voted Trump. What would those Trump voters say now? Isn't Trump going down that same road, cozying up to the big banks? It sure seems that way to me.

This story deserves wide dispersal. People need to know. Trump is going the elite route after all.

And did Sanders ever release his taxes?

Bernie should have released his tax records instantly. I believe that he eventually did release his records during the 2016 campaign.

But that's besides the point. The point is that Trump is doing exactly what his supporters accused Hillary of:cozying up to the big banks. If it was wrong for Hillary to do that, GOP voters should see it's also wrong for Trump.
