Bernie explains why we can't trust HRC. [View all]

"Given the nature of class politics in America. Given the fact that we have a corrupt campaign finance system," Sanders said. "Given that we have an economy that is rigged. The major point that I am making is that establishment politicians cannot make the kind of changes we need. You can't run a Super PAC and take money from Wall Street and say 'I'm going to take on Wall Street.'"

This is an obvious reference to Clinton's Super PAC war chest and her close ties to Wall Street. Sanders, famously, is the only major candidate refusing to use Super PACs, the fundraising entity that allows unlimited corporate and union money in the wake of Citizens United.
