1. Bill de Blasio the latest progressive not to endorse Bernie Sanders

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton Friday puts yet another major progressive leader in her column, and out of reach of Sen. Bernie Sanders, her main rival for the Democratic nomination.

De Blasio’s endorsement is no surprise — he worked for and is close with both Clintons and even managed her 2000 Senate campaign. But it comes after a very public delay in which he said he would evaluate each candidate in the race to see which would best exemplify his progressive ideals.

3. I'm well aware of that

However, I am still glad that he is much more progressive than his political choice for the nomination

Of course she doesn't, there's no money for it.

Don't get me wrong, the US has the resources to pay for it, it's just that the Middle Class has no lobbyists willing to cut the checks to influence the votes.

As I said, there's no money for it.
