House of Cards - Great advertisement for the Sanders campaign

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Cards_%28U.S._TV_series%29

It's great for the campaign because none of the despicable behavior, or people, remind the viewer of Senator Sanders. The show appeals to an aware audience, and I think the show will hammer home the point to uncommitted voters why we need him for President .

Coming up on April 16 will be the HBO movie, Confirmation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_%28film%29

Confirmation is an upcoming American television drama film, directed by Rick Famuyiwa and written by Susannah Grant. It is about Clarence Thomas' Supreme Court nomination hearings, and the controversy that unfolded when Anita Hill came forward to say she was a victim of Thomas' sexual harassment. It stars Kerry Washington as Hill and Wendell Pierce as Clarence Thomas, as well as Erika Christensen, Jennifer Hudson, Greg Kinnear, Jeffrey Wright, Bill Irwin, and Eric Stonestreet in supporting roles. The film will air on the cable network HBO on April 16, 2016.


And when people ask about the main hurler of sleaze against Anita Hill, the public can be reminded of Clinton ally David Brock.

The connection is clear imo.
