Hillary Clinton GREETED BY PROTESTERS At LA Fundraiser

[Segami]

Hillary Clinton spent the day Thursday at various fundraising events around Los Angeles with some of the city's wealthiest people. A few dozen left-leaning protesters waited for her in Beverly Hills to oppose the influence of money in politics and ask the democratic candidate to oppose future free trade deals, especially the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) being negotiated by the US.

37. You're quite a prolific poster..

you should expect you'll receive a reply or two. Go preen in your mirror if you're looking for adulation.

5. Not a "sir".

Too bad there weren't more protesters.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. I apologize, madame.

Hopefully others including the original poster will join them. He can hold up a D U sign so we will know it's him.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

[obnoxiousdrunk]

6. "....When Hillary Clinton travels to Southern California..

"....Thursday evening to attend a $2700-a-plate fundraiser in the Beverly Hills-area home of billionaire media mogul Haim Saban, a small group of Latino activists will be waiting to greet her.


On the heels of the presidential candidate's recent remarks on immigration — in which she went embraced a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, and vowed to uphold and expand upon President Barack Obama’s executive actions — protesters with Presente.org, a Latino advocacy organization, will press Clinton to oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a major trade agreement being negotiated between the United States and Pacific nations.


As far as some advocates are concerned, supporting immigration reform without opposing the Trans-Pacific Partnership is counterproductive. And as much as the Clinton campaign seems to be working to court the crucial Hispanic vote in 2016 — a key part of Obama’s winning coalition in 2008 and 2016 — for some Latino activists, it falls short...."

9. I hope she raised a ton of money...

If I had any money I would give it to Hillary since all her general election opponents are raising it by the barrel...

[HappyMe]

11. I'll send $50

to Sanders' campaign later.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. Your commitment and enthusiasm are laudable./NT

[demwing]

19. Thanks for your approval

Can we put you down for a matching donation to Senator Sanders?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. Please see Post 9

[demwing]

23. Please see Post #22

[demwing]

22. You'd get a better return on an investment in Sanders

I'm just saying

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. It's moot since I don't have any money...

But there was a survey of DU and the survey indicated there were quite a few high rollers here; not 1% rich but 5% and 10% rich, god bless em...

[Scuba]

40. No need. Jamie and Lloyd are giving her plenty.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

41. That's good...As long as she has one more dollar than the Repukes.

"Don't hate the playa, hate the game."

[Scuba]

42. This is not a game, and to be in denial about a quid pro quo is very naive.

[WI_DEM]

15. OH NO!!

[Renew Deal]

16. Why do they assume the protesters are "left leaning?"

[demwing]

20. It's an optical illusion

Hillary leans to the right, and everyone standing straight appears "left-leaning"

[JEB]

26. So far to the right that arrow is point slaunchwise to Hell.

[frylock]

34. Probably based on the "No Fast Track No TPP" sign

[obnoxiousdrunk]

27. Is it bad to have protesters ?

[Octafish]

28. Bet there'd be more protesters if the press did its job.

Not much mention of TPP for some reason.

[NCTraveler]

29. Great grassroots work.

They are there because they know she is listening. Keep it up Hillary.

[demwing]

30. That explains why so few showed up

Because so few think she's listening

[NCTraveler]

31. Have a blessed day. nt.

[demwing]

32. And a big old Hare Krishna to you! /nt

[SoapBox]

33. I was home all day and didn't' even know she was here.

Of course...I'm not one of the wealthiest in Los Angeles.

[Hekate]

38. A dozen or so? Not hardly up to Bush-protest levels, is it?
