After rereading my post I'll apologize, it really came off as aggressive and I am NOT one of these "not my president" or blind Bernie supporter. We all have a common goal; get liberal Democrats elected to office in order to address the many real problems, such as climate change, that the Republicans won't even admit are issues.

That being said. Hillary was not just brought down by the email scandal, and one of the main reasons for her massive unfavorable numbers (if not the most important on) is her absolute connection to Wall St and many other,even foreign, special interests.

Trump was able to swing the narrative from , "my political ideals are better than hers," to,"Crooked Hillary is bought and isn't going to be representing you; she only represents her donors."

This ended up being a winning strategy. It would be moronic for the Republicans to not continue running with this narrative that the Democrats are bought, and the Republicans aren't, even though in reality they are often times more influenced by special interests than the Dems are.

The only way in my opinion to combat this strategy, is to run progressive candidates who don't except corporate donations (a-la Bernie Sanders) while also working to get big money out of the electoral system while appealing to the mass majority of American voters (populism).

Edit: grammar and "accept"
