How many people have Bush or Clinton turned out for their events?

Bernie has them beat on people support. In a Democracy that means something.

This is going to hurt them badly. First time it is an issue, with people all over the country disgusted by the obscene amounts of money they KNOW is going to cost THEM, the PEOPLE as it always has.

So Bush Family buddies are buying another election. And as Mia Farrow said when she heard about Hillary's millions 'this is just WRONG. That does it, I am supporting Bernie Sanders'. Sign of things to come.
