I realize, or maybe assume from the conversation or lack thereof on here, that nobody wants anyone but Ms Clinton to be discussed, but today I am reading a few viewpoints on the three running, mostly related to Wall St.

""Martin O'Malley is now like, I would say persona non grata — public enemy number one in in the halls of Goldman Sachs, in the halls of Black Rock, the big money management firm. All throughout Wall Street right now,"

This from an article in Business Insider noting that he ticked off Wall St in his opening remarks for the campaign.

This referring to Ms Clinton.....

"WASHINGTON — Former President Bill Clinton flew to Nashville, Tenn., in February to earn a fast $225,000 for sharing his insights with a private gathering of wealthy clients of Switzerland’s largest bank.

It marked at least the ninth time since 2011 that the widely sought ex-president had appeared at a speakers’ series for UBS’ American clients, at venues stretching from Miami to Los Angeles. For voicing his thoughts, he reaped a tidy $1.5 million, according to financial disclosure statements filed by his wife.

But with Hillary Clinton once again a presidential candidate, the global gallivanting, which brought her husband a windfall of more than $118 million in speaking fees since 2001, is prompting questions about whether he has compromised her independence, including with Wall Street.

Ten of the world’s biggest financial institutions – including UBS, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs – have hired Bill Clinton numerous times since 2004 to speak for fees totaling more than $6.4 million. Hillary Clinton also has accepted speaking fees from at least one bank.

And most importantly, Sen Sanders......This quote is from the President of the USA at the 2015 White House Correspondents dinner....

""Apparently some folks want to see a pot-smoking socialist in the White House."

Now that event is meant to be funny and sarcasm rules. But, Sen Sanders has a sense of humor as well

"As his campaign gathers steam and Sanders begins to crack double digits in national polls, he has an idea for a job for his main rival, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton -- whom he has steadfastly refused to criticize during his nascent campaign.

"Would she be interested in being my vice president?" he said.

I know that everyone wants Ms Clinton, but you have to stay aware of everyone,
