How inclusive is your candidate?


Once a candidate gets hooked into soliciting and receiving monies from big lobbyists and rubbing shoulders comfortably with a certain level of society with the power to increase their share of wealth and power, what is the likelihood that the candidate will turn their back on this opportunity? And do they encourage this in their own people to perpetuate the problem?

For those of us who want a candidate who eschews this practice for a greater societal good, how likely is it that Hillary would do an about face to embrace all the Bernie supporters wider vision for a new America? If she actually managed to bag the main election because non-Hil primary voters "held their noses" to prevent a Republican presidency, would she claim the former Bernie supporters helped supply her with a mandate to proceed with business as usual? Dem->Right?

I prefer to know the heart of my candidate. That it is about Us, not their personal ambition.
