Anger and frustration Quote by Robert Reich
“What we really need to understand here is that it's all about power. This is where the surge is coming from for Bernie Sanders. In some ways, it's a very different - it's a different surge, but it's coming out of the same sort of sense of fundamental powerlessness and anger and frustration for Donald Trump.”
