Yes; but not just yet.
The Democrats must win in November.
Levi Sanders needs to apprentice in elective office.

"Look what happened when we got rid of the monopoly of AT&T to switch to cellphones. You and I are talking on cellphones. Had we not deregulated AT&T, would we not be doing that?"

Foster Friess is being disingenuous.

"After graduating from college, Foster trained to be an infantry platoon leader and served as the intelligence officer for the 1st Guided Missile Brigade at Fort Bliss, Texas. In 1964, he began his investment career, joining the Brittingham family-controlled NYSE member firm in Wilmington, Delaware, where he eventually rose to the position of Director of Research.
In 1974, Friess and his wife launched their own investment management firm, Friess Associates, LLC. Although success came slowly in its early years, the firm grew to over $15.7 billion in assets managed."
