19. The establishment that profits from profitable candidates have power
Sat May 2, 2015, 11:04 PM

In the two parties, in the media, and in their checkbooks.

The one thing that can defeat them is a public that has grown apathetic to voting (the disaffected, the disenfranchised and the youth) that see quite clearly that thing one and thing two are not fighting for them (they realize that one of the things is also a nasty bigot which encourages some to vote on both sides).

This public ignored by the elite politicians and donors can vote and will again if they see someone that fight s for them.

All those apathetic voters wake up when inspired by someone finally on their side, this is their greatest fear and the greatest weapon of these people left behind.

Clinton can not tap this immense resource, Bernie Sanders can!

If Sanders wins the nomination, he wins the general, no matter how much the money screams and their political servants try to stop them, people will vote for someone finally on their side.

The only thing stopping Sanders from becoming president is doubt and fear, it is very true that the only thing to fear is fear itself if it stops people from supporting a candidate that can awaken the disaffected, choosing instead, because of fear the best funded.

Clinton could win because of the realities you so clearly presented, but a real champion of most of the people would ensure victory.
