As a critical supporter of " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders I am very interested in viewing a debate between the personification of " greed is good " capitalist Donald Trump and the personification of genteel Vermont country socialism, Senator Bernie Sanders - who won big here in the Rhode Island Democratic primary.
I am not one of those who over-vilify The Donald who also speaks to the " angry white working class " with refreshing- but often TOO fresh - bluntness.
Bernie Sanders emphasis on unacceptable economic inequality is on a higher moral and intellectual level than Hillary Clinton's banal " identity politics ".
" Wall St. Hillary " will not debate " socialist " Bernie Sanders on the brink of the California Democratic primary. Bernie in California reminds me of Upton Sinclair's EPIC campaign there in 1934.
Sinclair Lewis , a socialist novelist, wrote " It Can't Happen Here " in the 1930s too , a warning that fascism is never off the agenda of the American plutocracy.
Upton Sinclair's novel " The Jungle " inspired reforms in turn of the century Robber Baron capitalism - a lot like today in USA .
