14. It's a shame his campaign hasn't had much traction

I had forgotten he was even running!

For me it’s between him and Porter. I’m not too thrilled with her temperament and various outbursts, but I trust she’s on the side of people rather than corporate interests.

I simply can’t trust an ex hedge fund guy. I’m not convinced he won’t funnel money to wealthy interests close to him because they favor his agenda. I’m not interested in crony capitalism. We have enough of that in DC.
