Would you rather run w/a status quo OR an honest taking on the corrupt system that is rigged in

favor of the corporations and 1% presidential candidate if you were running for election in today's environment?

For me, it's a no brainer. I wouldn't want to be out there defending a status quo candidate to an outraged voting public.

Bottom Line: No one would every go broke betting on the stupidity of the majority of our elected officials.

Hmmm.. by your question it doesn't seem like the down ticket races matter a damn bit. I wonder if any of them (the down ticket Dems) have figured that out yet? Just wait until that lightbulb goes on..
