3. he's got an extensive set of policy proposals on this very issue. Hillary has jack shit
all she mentions is the middle class. With precious little detail.

6. It's a topsy turvy world where
The candidate that takes the most corporate donations is seen as been for the poor,
while the candidate who came from the streets of Chicago as an organizer is attracting the more wealthy.

The problem is that the not so well off have much to lose and don't know Barack very well but know the "Clinton" name and her husband record (well they kind of know that record). They don't know so much that he is one of them much more than NAFTA supporting Hillary.

The more researched voters who actually go on the internet to do research know that Barack is the better candidate.

13. Besides, Barack only eats the poor. Hillary beats them up.
They make great punching bags.
