Impact Campaigning - Can the Candidates Think Big?

My question to Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and the RepubliCANTs would be something like this: 

What result occurs from the integration of Impact Investment strategies with disruptive empowerment technologies by global corporate players?

Yes, I know you likely believe it is weird. But it is a serious question. I'd venture a pretty valid one too from the perspective of those with an awareness of what is occurring within the layers of progressive financial transformations -- deep, abiding fiduciary modifications being propelled by some pretty significant money players. Even some billionaires with a heart. No kidding. If you doubt me, let’s put a bet on it. If I’m wrong, I’ll give you a shot of GIIN!  

My guess would be that Trump would say something mindbogglingly ignorant and offensive: “Who let this jerk in here? He works for Megan! This is what is wrong with America! People who talk dirty like that. What kind of question is that?”

Cruz would say: “Jesus is in charge of all the impact I favor.”

Kasich might say: “My job is to make jobs. I’ve made 400,000. I’m in favor of whatever it is that business leaders do … though using radical technologies isn’t what I tend to favor.”

Sanders, of course, would likely turn to a favorite: “We cannot let bankers be in charge of anything. Equality is the goal. They use disruptive and destructive inequalities and so it wouldn’t surprise me if they tried again.”

But then there is Hillary. She, I'm wagering, would undoubtedly take a very informed and different tactic: “That’s a great question. My work with some of the most inventive and innovative financial institutions are proud of what Impact Investment has going for it. I know they have begun looking at it within the program-related investment strategies at the Clinton Foundation, and it appears often right alongside proposals that do indeed use disruptive technologies to the advantage of poor and underdeveloped nations. Let me give you a couple of examples ….”

Sorry, folks, but the lady rules the roost. 

The next president who follows President Black must be one who has some idea of what tomorrow offers. It is very endearing that President Woman is next in line for moving this nation and the financial future forward. It's just too bad in this day and age campaigns cannot be so big and thoughtful.

Anybody up for a good shot?

Thanks for sharing. The idea is for me to motivate you (and others) to do something with good ideas. Some are mine, some belong to others; all belong to the world of change.
