21. We live with an Oligarchy for a government. A Princeton study makes that clear.

The Oligarchs like H. Clinton a lot and they like Bush a lot, just as Goldman-Sachs. They will not allow Trump to be president. Trump even though he doesn't know it, is giving cover to Bush. Bush can hid, like Clinton, until the election then come forward. Karl Rove will "convince" Trump to stand down. We live in an Oligarchy controlled government. Sen Sanders is defying that Oligarchy at his personal risk. I hope he remains safe.
