Bob,
It's interesting. From everything I read, Sanders certainly has a numerical
chance of winning. And if the super delegates who prematurely pledged to
Clinton, changed their minds, he could win. In polls, he does better than
Clinton or Trump. What it seems like to me is that the majority of people
want him, or, at least, they want what he stans for. But the system is
fixed. There are all these entrenched interests who have determined that
Clinton should win, probably the financial industry and the defense
contractors and the pentagon. Those are the people who benefit if she's
President and, oh yes, the fossil fuel industry. She has all the
politicians, black, white and Latino, as part of her machine. Jerry Brown
just endorsed her because, he said, she'd do better against Trump. God knows
where he got that idea. I suppose he was told to say it.

Hi Miriam,
You asked what may be the most important question of all. IT was something
like:
"Is the working class angry because of the general level of injustice done
by government and big business or because each individual member of said
class is not getting what they want. I'm afraid I'd have to go with the more
cynical and selfish option B. That does not bode well for our future whether
it is a future with president Trump or President Clinton. Yes, some things
will be worse under Trump such as who gets nominated for the Supreme Court.
But, in terms of foreign policy, it could be argued that things might be
worse under Clinton! I'm beginning to hope that Clinton gets indicted before
the democratic Convention so that Sanders gets another chance.
