So has Bernie developed a time line for the

revolution?

When does he expect it to reach critical mass such that the Repubs in Congress will cave?

Is it in the first 100 days in office?

I hear some student voters will want their tuition free education while they are still school age.

When will she ask for legislation and fight for it that opposes Wall St?

Will she in her first 100 days press for universal health care,a living wage,equal pay for women?

Anything?

May well be nothing there about Bernie, but I'm so tired of the double standard with Clinton. They should both release transcripts.

to influence their congress people to support his ideas on a national stage. In the meantime, he wont be trading away progressive programs or signing any lopsided trade deals. Can the same be said of Hillary? Probably not.

I hear that some voters are concerned that they want the expanding FBI investigations resolved before election day. She reports that she has no knowledge of investigation into corruption at the Clinton Foundation, so that's a good sign.

In a real revolution, Sanders would suspend Congress and create a new legislature made up of his own appointees. If you are going to talk revolution, you need to walk the entire walk.

to be reflected in our government? What is the big hurry? I am 54 and I am school age. Wouldn't you like to be more limitless, enlightened, educated?
It is not free, we earned it.
They took it now get out there and vote them out. Repubs can be voted out!!!
You know, YOU KNOW, the alternative is much worse.
