Wait, I know. Because the M$M simply doesn't inform voters about this stuff

...flatly stating that they were a progressive and so is Hillary. People do actually think she's a progressive, which even by America's radically right-skewed political scale, is ludicrous.

He is no angel, and it makes me a littke uncomfotable. But I think Bernie is using his expertise as an employee but Bernie is calling the shots.

More importsnt, unlijevthe Clinton campaign. Devine is not one of a horde of corrupt campaign staff, bundlers, SuperPac funders, advisors who Clinton is supported by and surrounde by.

Look where Bernie is getting his money from and compare it to the rogues gallery behind Clinton.

"Thomas A. "Tad" Devine (born June 11, 1955)[1] is an American political consultant. Devine was a senior adviser in Al Gore's 2000 and John Kerry's 2004 Presidential campaigns.[2] He currently is a senior adviser for Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign.[3] He has worked on ten winning campaigns for President and Prime Minister around the world and 17 winning U.S. Senate races. Devine is currently the president of Devine Mulvey Longabaugh, a Washington D.C.-based media consulting firm. In October 2010, he was recognized as one of "the nation's most respected media consultants" by USA Today.""

Sounds like a really sketchy character.

Keep digging, Podesta is at the heart of so much that is wrong with this country and this planet.

10. Podesta and Flying Saucers. Think the Republcans might make a big deal of Podesta's UFO position
Wed Mar 2, 2016, 10:20 PM
Mar 2016

Podesta's stance on UFOs can be seen in the following video clip from the 2009 James Fox film, "I Know What I Saw." Podesta spoke at a 2002 news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., where he called upon the U.S. government "to declassify [UFO] records that are more than 25 years old."

Like Podesta, I also favor a serious investigation of UFO's. I haven't seen any credible evidence that we are being visited by aliens but my mind is open on the subject.

However, I can imagine Republicans in the general election attacking Podesta as that "nutty flying saucer guy".

They are all in on HRC, no matter how much we show her being connected with corporate America and Wall Street. In fact, they fully expect Sanders supporters to fall in line in November and vote for her if she gets the nomination. You know, for the "greater good."

And the Dem Party money crowd wants to put THIS up against Trump?!!

THIS is unbelievably bad, and "this" is gonna LOSE!

Clinton will NOT be able to survive these revelations in the GE. Trump will portray himself as "independent" because he's his own billionaire. And that will be that. National fascism!

Not only that, but Sanders beats Trump by 12 pts, in the most recent national CNN poll. Currently, Clinton beats Trump by 8 pts, but that is only going to go down, as info like this gets around and her huge "unfavorability" numbers kick in. And she LOSES to Cruz and Rubio, while Sanders wins by good margins against ALL Republicans, in these national matchups. Sanders beats Cruz by a whopping 17 pts., and beats Rubio by 8 pts. Sanders "favorability" rating: 60%! (beats everybody). Clinton's "unfavorability": 54%!
