>>>She represents everything that is wrong with the so-called "establishment" today. Amen.....along with some very well known Republicans, I'm afraid. It's the "establishment," not R or D. I wish Trump well just as I hope Bernie well [just not as much :-) ] for the same reason.

You do know that the only witness that's reported on one of those 'Wall Street' speeches says they were just rah-rah crap about their corporation, like they'd expect the BOD to have someone deliver. Why shouldn't Hillary take money from idiots? All pols do. Bernie just doesn't get invited.

Based on her own actions. Based on public opinion polls. Based on her very obvious pandering to different groups with conflicting agendas. She gave speeches to Goldman Sachs and other high-powered Wall Street firms for six figures per speech, then tells an audience full of potential Bernie voters that she's "tough on Wall Street." As Secretary of State, she was in full support of Obama's icy relationship with Israel. She also supports the nuclear deal with Iran 100%, despite Israel being the most vocal opponent to it. Yet here she is claiming to a pro-Israel lobbying group that she has always stood for the safety and security of Israel. Also just recently, she was seen in a video publicly trying to comfort a young Latina girl who fears her parents getting deported. Yet two years ago, she said that unaccompanied minors should be sent back. Let's not forget about her " super-predator" speech she made in 1996 that is being interpreted by liberals (including DailyKos) as discrimination against at-risk minority youths. There's a reason why political upstarts like Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are more popular than anyone expected them to be. When will you figure it out? Hillary IS the reason, and it's NOT because of her stance on the issues. Instead, it's because no one other than ideologues trust her. She represents everything that is wrong with the so-called "establishment" today. And she can consolidate her power because she knows people like you will always vote for her because the "other side is worse." You are a classic example of someone who opts for sound bites learned on favored media outlets in favor of fact checking...she has taken speaking fees and somehow that's a disqualifier, yet her actions and plans say otherwise, while tougher regulation is in fact vehemently opposed by the GOP in congress and senate. On Wall Street... nytimes.com On Israel....we've taken to support the nation on fiat terms, without regard for the righteousness of its actions...settlements continue to go up in occupied lands and we don't condemn it...Netanyahu comes to the US and CAMPAIGNS against Obama and we find that acceptable, in deed the GOP encourages it. Obama has taken a stand against this carte blanche approach...so Hillary speaks before AIPAC and says that support for Israel is not negotiable and you find that a contrast ignoring the political reality...really? On Iran...you seem to talk about the nuclear deal in negative terms and yet know little to nothing about what effect if may have on Iran's policies going forward...and assume that simply because opposing it is the correct position to take despite an inability to provide an alternative other than "make a better deal"...have you paid attention to the results of the most recent elections in Iran? How do you know this is the wrong path? There's a reason why political upstarts like Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are more popular than anyone expected them to be. When will you figure it out? Hillary IS the reason, and it's NOT because of her stance on the issues. Instead, it's because no one other than ideologues trust her. That's the most ridiculous point made in your post. Anti-establishment Trump followers have been radicalized by decades of right wing cynical gvmt-hostile propaganda and negativism. The equivalent folks on the left support Sanders simply because he does the same thing against bastions of inequality, like Wall street, and because he promises pies in the sky to the entitled...not because of Hillary...that's absurd.
