Last minute voter notes

If you are voting in any of the primaries today, here are some last minute things to know about each of the candidates:

Marco Rubio has accepted more money from Wall Street than any candidate from either party. (Reuters)

Bernie Sanders says he will raise taxes on all voters, although not in so many words. (Money via Yahoo Finance)

Hillary Goldman Clinton wants to make community colleges free. This basically extends out public school system to community colleges, and we all know how well the public school system works! (Money via Yahoo Finance)

Donald "Joe Millionaire" Trump will repeal Obamacare, the Dodd-Frank Act, and the Constitution. Ok, maybe not the last one, I hope...(Money via Yahoo Finance)

Ted Cruz wants to make soylent green a viable food source. Just kidding, but he will change Social Security to "raise the retirement age and cap increases in the cost-of-living adjustment". (Money via Yahoo Finance)

In other news, USAToday reports that Ben Carson is leading the field for Trump's vice presidential pick:

Morning Consult asked Republican and Republican-leaning independent voters over the weekend who the real estate magnate should pick and came up with this result: 
• Ben Carson 11%
• Ted Cruz  9%
• Marco Rubio 9%
• John Kasich 8%
• Chris Christie 8%
• Jeb Bush 4% 
Nearly 40% of respondents said they didn’t know or didn’t have an opinion. Two percent picked Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and star on ABC's Shark Tank.
Personally, I think Trump should pick Nancy Pelosi. It wouldn't be the first time he went with a woman he shouldn't have...
