http://bluenationreview.com/bernie-is-the-establishment-hillary-and-planned-parenthood-are-the-anti-establishment/"I have no interest in disparaging any Democrat, but simply to tell the truth, no matter how counter-intuitive, and to advocate for the candidate I believe is most capable of winning and governing. Im also motivated by a desire to break long-standing barriers, specifically the political barrier that has barred all women from the U.S. presidency.
Bernie Sanders is a white male who has been in Congress for over a quarter century his views notwithstanding, he is the definition of the establishment.
Hillary Clinton is a woman attempting to break the ultimate gender barrier, the first female to become President of the United States she is the definition of the anti-establishment."
