For the record, I have been a believer that Hillary could not be beat. I still feel the same way.
Cruz may cruise to the nomination, but one lawyer will not beat the other lawyer. Logic will lose to emotion and Clinton will prevail with Mr. Bill in the background. Cruze and Clinton are exceptionally bright, trained verbal sparring partners that keep their swords ready at their side.
She is the safe vote. Vanilla ice cream still sells and she is the least distasteful of the democratic alternatives. Sanders did well in the democratic debate, but he is for universal health care - medicare for all - college education for all who can make the grade and increased taxes for the wealthy. For some reason this makes him a socialist, which is a bad thing for most people, who are not sick or already have good health insurance, or who have already gone to college or who are not already wealthy.
Sanders has a recurring theme, which is eliminate current campaign finance rules, which according to Sanders allow the billionaires to buy face time and favorable treatment. This will never happen because money makes the rules. The fact that the Clintons have received $25 million in fees for speaking engagements in the last 18 months just passes over the heads of people who support Hillary.
They are just great motivational speakers, I suppose.
The problem with the campaign finance rules is that they had to level the playing field. The unions are the biggest donators of all, hands down, not even close. If you want to take the billionaires out of it, take out the unions, as well.
