Some actions make me wonder WTH, but then I remember there are a lot of teams in play.

There is the

1. Clinton team
2. Bernie team
3. The Plan B Obama/Biden team
4. The pro-Trump GOP team
5. The anti-Trump GOP team

Who is pushing what and for what reasons is hard to determine. And who is truly a member of which team - that is a big ?

However, what's easy to ascertain - only Team Bernie wants to truly defeat the status quo.

And Team Bernie alone is battling them all.

It's become evident that what is more important is maintaining the status quo.

with politicians that take a dollar from the rich to keep a dollar's worth of food from a child in poverty.
