Agreed completely that I want Sanders to win, because it's the only real chance we have to stop stuff like this from happening. Chances are that his free tuition/medicare for all promises will likely end up as more compromises (but if he can manage to limit Rx costs and find a way to get student loan debt under control, it would make a big difference to a lot of people in this country, even if his current goals are unrealistic), but if he can manage to get Citizens United overturned and get campaign financing back under control, it would be very good for America's future as a democracy, not an oligarchy.
That said, not a single one of the GOP candidates will do anything to stop this, and they'll do their best to repeal the ACA, defund Planned Parenthood, limit the efficacy of the EPA, etc. So even if Sanders doesn't win the nomination--I'm still going to vote Hillary. Hillary is part of the problem with money in politics, absolutely, but she's still vastly more appealing than any of the GOP candidates. Which mostly just points out how awful the GOP candidates are.
