This^^^^^

Again, can't get stressed enough. If the fuel that drives your engine is Clinton is too close to Wall Street, then u have to have specifics on how she has shone to be under their spell...When pressed, Bernie was unable to do so...

Politics is a dirty business...But it's also quite simple......It helps to have a weak, muddling candidate in order to paint that person the way u want....The problem is Clinton, who is a lot of things, ain't weak...When u go against someone like her u have to have your shit together...U gotta have concrete facts, and not just innuendo....

I think Bernie does most of his damage on Clinton when it comes to her Middle East policies....He needs to turn the heat up on THAT if he wants to truly do some damage to Clinton....
