I guess if it is between Rubio, Cruz, Trump, Sanders and Clinton, then I have to go with Clinton. The other 4 all seem like awful and dangerous choices.

I dunno, his policies aren't just things he is throwing into the wind hoping it picks up steam. He actually backs them up as well.
$15 minimum wage is hardly new, given how many European countries have higher minimum wage levels than the US, and a single payer system has been shown to actually save the US money over the long term.
Free college tuition on the other hand is a different beast.
Can't believe you'd vote for someone bought and paid for by Wall Street.
