Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumSanders campaign attacks Holder/Patrick Presidential bids
And most recently, there are reports of a candidacy by Deval Patrick. He is currently an executive at private equity giant Bain Capital. He previously served as a top executive at oil giant Texaco, where he helped the fossil fuel colossus merge with Chevron. According to a detailed Huffington Post report, Patrick also became a foreclosure mogul at Ameriquest, where he helped a Republican billionaire rip off the middle class.
Again, these potential candidacies havent been floated randomly. They come at precisely the moment when Bernies campaign is surging.

(47,264 posts)and retirement plans that have allowed us, so far, retirement with dignity.
Neither Sanders nor Warren has worked, for a signifact time, for corporations. Most of us cannot make millions by writing books. So, yes, we have to work for corporations that allow us to... donate to political campaign.

(67,782 posts)I never reached a salary of $100K, much less $150-174K for decades, or a management position. Yet I'm probably viewed as a "corporatist" in some corners. So, after working for all that time and living frugally, I now have a net worth of roughly the same as BS before his book deals, who has earned almost $6M since being in Congress with a wife that was earning $200k as a college president.

(581 posts)Bernie supporters have been railing for years at Obama and Biden not prosecuting Wall Street in the first term. Holder is going to get much more shit for it because it was his Justice Department. He acknowledged this in David Axelrod's podcast.

(67,782 posts)He's unbelievable, bashing two distinguished, very popular Democrats, almost like they're infringing on HIS turf!
I wonder why Sanders never addresses the fact that about half his net worth (more than $1M) is invested on "Wall Street" in mutual funds?
One more thing, as far as that "Bern Notice" blog - that's written by David Sirota AND Sanders' campaign is not "surging".
Nationally he was at 23.0 in May, dropped to 16.9 at the end of June, 16.2 at the end of July, 17.1 at the end of August, 17.5 at the end of September, 16.8 at the end of October, and 17.0 today.
Where's the "surge"? He's 4 points down from May and hasn't varied more than about a point up or down from month to month.
