2. It's depressing
that Hillary is so far ahead in the polls.

I think there are several discouraging reasons for this, a big one being that far too many people have bought into the media frame that the candidate who raises the most money is the best candidate and deserves a vote.

The *appropriate* frame is that the candidate who takes in the most special interest money should be taken with an incredibly large grain of salt on just about every issue. Hillary for example has taken more money from the health care industry than any other candidate, democrat OR republican. In that context, how can she be trusted to reform health care to the benefit of most Americans?
