Sanders made sense to me.

Bernie Sanders was impressive. I had not seen him in action next to Hillary so I was surprised.  The media will have to give him more ink because he is clearly a genuine democratic candidate.  Sanders did not give an inch to Hillary and addressed the much longer Bill Clinton womanizer issue with dignity, if not just a bit of, what appeared to me, sympathy for Hillary. 

Hillary lacked visual projection and even when she pointed her finger and raised her voice, I wondered if she really meant it. You may not have agreed with Sanders' position on universal health care, which I do by the way, and his position on taxes, but he showed that he was committed to and had thought through the impact of his position on these two items. 

Although I understand the danger of having a few billionaires provide large funding to a presidential hopeful, I am not sure if that is an important issue to the American people. However, it should be because that is at the heart of most legislation. Sanders came back to that theme many times, but he failed to make the case why this is so obviously evil. Money contributions provide access and access provides opportunities for narrow interests to prevail over the general interests of most Americans. 

I believe the case can be made, but it is such an old and trite claim that it has lost its oomph. If you tell a lie often enough, people tend to believe it's true. If you tell the truth often enough, people tend to discount it as protesting too much, a la Shakespeare.
