1). Hillary Clinton

2). Gun control/bans

As I predicted several months ago, it is no surprise that MSM is going all in to coverage of gun crime and Hillary's statements favoring gun control; they sure don't want Sanders for a host of reasons, and they want to ride high again on an issue they built up 30 - 40 yrs ago, only to have their ass handed to them. This is really about corporate centrism and how to keep it in power. I also believe the locus of gun control is with corporate centrism; the left is ambivalent on guns, and in any case an outlier since LBJ with little influence except through Sanders. And NO ONE in the elites, be it the Democratic Party, MSM, or the financial sector wants a popular Left to succeed.
