Meet the new Democrats

Goldman Sachs? Fiscal conservative? I thought the Justice Democrats were going to "take over" & "remake" the Democratic Party.

PRINCETON, N.J. — To hear some Democratic activists tell it, 2017 is supposed to mark the dawn of the party’s new era led by a younger, more aggressively progressive generation.

So why does it look like the establishment may be striking back?

In the only two governors' races of 2017, Democrats might end up nominating a longtime Goldman Sachs executive and high-level political financier in New Jersey, while in Virginia the top of the ticket could feature a former George W. Bush voter who describes himself as a fiscal conservative.

No surprise here when you examine who they contribute to.


They hold positions of power in both parties.


Even Bernie is rolling in cash...

Bernie Sanders made more than $1 million in 2016

Even Bernie is rolling in cash...

Since the majority of his money came from his book "Our Revolution," will Bernie share freely with his followers?

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders isn't strapped for cash.

The popular Independent who was further catapulted into the spotlight during his 2016 bid for the Democratic presidential nomination made more than $1 million last year, according to his most recent U.S. Senate financial disclosure released Sunday. The majority of his income came from book royalties, most notably a $795,000 advance for his recently published "Our Revolution." Released a week after President Donald Trump was elected in November, the book quickly became a best-seller.

Sanders' finanical disclosure also includes two mortgages from Quicken Loans, in addition to a August 2016 family trust created to purchase a summer vacation home. Sanders's sizable book advance is nearly quadruple the size of his colleague Sen. Elizabeth Warren's for her upcoming book, "This Fight is Our Fight." She earned a $200,000 advance for it, the Boston Globe reported.
