The 20th century is over, and those two 20th century relics ( Donald's and Hillary's elitist mindsets) have quite some overlap. This should not surprise us.

But I agree there are differences: Donald is a neo-fascist, whereas Hillary is a neo-liberal. Those are distinct sub-categories of corporatism, and one should not easily confuse them.

promise to make it easier to be 1% is a load of bovine excrement.

1 % will always be 1 %. The only way to give more people a greater share of the overall income, is to decrease the total share the 1 % has of all wealth. That is basic math.

GOP-smearing and the "duped millennials" meme all in one: disgusting.

Here's the truth for you: corporatism = corporatism, no matter what difference there is on the field of perennially rehashed culture wars.

"they don't know, they don't care, they don't question their information..."

Truth: they DO know (in fact, thanks to the Internet, my generation is far more knowledgeable than other generations were at our age), they DO care (a.k.a. being principled) and it's because we question information that Clinton's 20-th century triangulation efforts fall on deaf ears with us: we see right through her lies.

As for harming Democrats: I think your side is projecting too much.

And the obit makes it sound like she committed suicide. It's been awhile since I've brushed up on any Christian doctrine, but if I understand it correctly, suicides go straight to hell. No eternal love of God. Pass Go. Do not collect $200.
