In other news, Hillary spoke to a crowd of 250 invited "guests", a.k.a. paying customers, in San Diego.

The ticket prices for what the campaign is billing as a "Conversation with Hillary'' are $1,000 and $2,700, the maximum individual contribution for a candidate seeking his or her party's nomination under federal law.

No since I don't have to donate for Hillary so it has a political connection.
I'm using the $27 I would send to her for CDs...

You should be ashamed of yourself. While some of us are paying handsomely to ride Bernie's bus, you are hopping a free ride on the Hillary yacht! Tax payer bailout money to the big banks are paying for it anyway.

I figure if George Clooney gives her a lot of money I don't have too....


Seriously, the guy that gave us Social Security in the 1930s was a bloodblood patrician from upstate New York who by earlier 20th Century standards was extremely wealthy. Like summer vacations in Europe wealthy.

If you would have told me in the 1990s Hillary would be cast as the establishment candidate and a Republicans on something called the internet I would not have believed it. She is not the end of the world. Trump on the other hand...

As Bob said it is about electing more Democrats in the House and Senate, especially as there are more Republicans than Democrats at risk this time.

You Hillary Haters are letting it cloud your thinking. In a recent article (In the last Atlantic but it is upstairs) the author compiled the types of lies and the Donald was worst, Bernie not so good and Hillary lied the least.
