To the Editor:

Why not elect the idea guy behind Hillary’s campaign? Throughout her candidacy, Hillary has taken her time sharing her positions with us. When she finally takes a position it’s a watered down version of a position Bernie has come out with months, years, even decades earlier. She clearly recognizes that Bernie’s message is reaching us and that it’s resonating.

Faced with a choice between adapting or sinking like a rock, she adapts. Not an easy decision when your top donors are the very same banks and investment companies Bernie’s platform will inevitably challenge. Is she misleading her donors or misleading us?

Forget about that question for a minute but don’t forget it.

Hillary’s listening to him now. She should have listened to him in 2003 when he told the nation what he feared would happen if we went to war in Iraq. Instead she voted for war. Everything Bernie predicted happened. To her credit, she says the vote was a mistake. Oops.

Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan should have listened to him back in 1992 when he stood on the congressional floor and predicted the financial collapse we would experience if we continued in the direction Greenspan was taking us. The collapse happened and during a congressional hearing in 2008, Greenspan had to admit he was using a financial model that was flawed. He’d been using it, he said, for the past forty years.

They should have listened to him decades ago. We should listen to him now. Try it on, it fits.

This February, let’s vote for the guy who sees it before it happens instead of reacting to it after it’s too late. Let’s vote for the “unelectable” guy who hasn’t lost an election for 25 years.
