One candidate is 73, with a shock of wispy white hair and a famously rumpled demeanor that makes him look more like a mad scientist than a politician.
The other is central castings image of a presidential candidate: square-jawed, athletic-looking and 52 years old the ideal age that Fortune 500 companies look for in a CEO and that voters find appealing in a president.

"Corporation's are people too my friend." is foreign and odd, especially with the breath of law that they can abuse and have during the course of history to the present.
Levity that an actual citizen can't enjoy. Maybe some have but achieving a -9% tax bracket would be impossible for my family and I, and we're at the low end of middle class, I guess let's just call it "working for scraps" class.
How any DU'r, that can go down to the mat for a corporate representative seems foreign to me.
Maybe I'm different that way, but I'm all about the issues. Issues that haven't been addressed for decades. First and foremost, economics.
We've had a leftist spring for social equality coming on 8 years but still no one to date mentioned anything about working conditions and living wage jobs for the middle class, including the abuse of "salaried" workers and unpaid overtime.
I know Bernie will address it period.
The thing is, if he's elected president, which would be totally awesome, will congress, including corporate Democrats back him up.
me thinks they will stone wall and "sell" the tried and true 2 party system to the next generation.
