Teddy Roosevelt was the last President to not be bought by the 1%. I am looking forward to President Trump being the 2nd. The 1% spending tens of millions trying to stop him tells you how afraid they are of him.

What about FDR? I can't imagine his New Deal policies being too popular amongst the rich. And in the modern day we also have Bernie Sanders, who actually has a demonstrable, 30+ year track record of integrity, unlike Trump. Just a thought...

  You are right about FDR. I like Bernie but he has some grand plans with taxes that might be a little too much. If he could scale back some that would be good. Bernie might have to be the candidate because the Clinton email thing really does have legs. At first I thought the email thing was no big deal but copying secure data from one system into emails on another system ends up to be technically breaking the law no matter how good the intentions are.

    The vast majority of Bernie's tax increases will target the ultra-rich and Wall Street speculators. For the middle class, taxes will rise a noticeable amount, but that will be more than offset by free healthcare and free college.

Trump is not going to be president. It's nearly statistically impossible.

  Great leaders can do nearly impossible things we can only hope he comes through.

Hillary is your next president, its a done deal. Trump is the president you deserve though. He seems closer in personality to the average american.

  The average person that builds skyscrapers that is. While Hillary is the average person who has dedicated her life to public service and is worth tens of millions of dollars to show for it.
