Hillary is holding 34 fat cat fundraisers in February

[cali]

Contest over. Congratulations to the winner, farleftlib

Closest guess wins bragging rights. I'll post the number after the first 5 posta

And the winner is farleftlib, though the guess of 15 is way low.

It's 32 but that's not counting the 2 in Mexico.

Hillary, Bill and Chelsea Clinton have 32 fundraisers scheduled this month, according to invitations reviewed by CNN, a considerable investment of time for a presidential candidate who is currently locked in a tight contest with Sanders, a candidate who does most of his fundraising online.

[farleftlib]

20. Thank you. thank you! I'd like to thank my mother, who always told me

[cali]

10. Kick

[farleftlib]

11. Day-um. I thought I went too high

She's a good little fund-raiser. But those fat cats don't mean anything to her. She said so last night in NH.

[Avalux]

12. That's more than one a day!

Hillary is desperate for cash since she's almost exhausted her SuperPac allotment.

Seems she'll be courting big donors to pay the bills, instead of spending time with the people of NV and SC.

[cali]

13. Well she is delegating a lot of them.

[Avalux]

15. True, she's got Bill and Chelsea to help out.

Still though, that's an awful lot of fundraising.

[Le Taz Hot]

17. Boy, was I off!

[cali]

22. I would never have guessed that high either. It's obscene.

[thereismore]

23. Wow. Question: when will she spend time with ordinary people? After she gets elected? Fat chance. nt

[Art_from_Ark]

36. Ordinary people?

You mean-- ugh-- the hoi polloi?

[thereismore]

37. Oh fuck. That looks bad. nt

[cali]

24. Kick against corruption

[cali]

25. Kick

[mgmaggiemg]

26. good for HRC woohoo! ;)

[ecstatic]

27. Gonna need it for the GE. So would Bernie, BTW.

Bernie should know--ya can't take a knife to a gunfight.

[cali]

29. And we were told he couldn't compete in the primary without it.

[Jefferson23]

28. Nothing to see here folks, no way does this influence anything in her administration

should she win the WH.

Vote for the safe bet, the "realist"..vote Clinton. LOL

That money is REAL peeps, think about it.

[UglyGreed]

30. Business as usual

[earthside]

31. Every morning I get up and go to DU and think ...

... that I can't possibly be anymore disgusted today by Hillary Clinton, the Clinton machine, and the elites of the Democratic Party than I was yesterday.

And then something like this pops up.

Contrast Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton's fundraising with this:

32. Some fundraise like this, and some raise funds by stealing campaign data from another candidate

Of course its all just part of the game to keep the campaign running, regardless of suspicions or ethics.

[jillan]

34. Like the data Clinton stole about me? My name, my email address & I NEVER signed up for her campaign

And the funny thing is it happened when the firewall was down. I was not alone.

One candidate fires someone over this.
The other candidate pretends they are above it.

[misterhighwasted]

40. Like the Hillary supporters who began getting Sanders donation requests

..within a week following his campaigns data theft.
So its just not ok if Hillary does it..??
Its all in how much you raise, then, not how you raise the cash. Apparently.
Later..

[cali]

38. Oh please. Bernie corrected that by firing anyone invoved

Hillary continues with grubbing for the filthiest money in politics. It's called corruption.

[misterhighwasted]

41. lol. sure he got rid of the peeps but not the collected prized data.

So they took one for the team. Great.
Sanders went on to raise campaign cash from that theft and to this day still sends out donatuon requests to people who were never on a Sanders list.
But they're all still receiving Sanders' requests.

YUP
I suppose that is ethical to some, in an "all's fair" sorta way.

[misterhighwasted]

42. Oh please. Sanders has RW Pacs running ads for him.

Its all good then. Right?
Its "all fair" in a campaign, apparently.
Bye

[cali]

44. Oh please. He has nothing to do with that. So lame.

[misterhighwasted]

45. Influence is the subject of this thread.

And influence can be questioned on either candidate, in this respect.
Who's to say someone influencing one campaign's ability to move forward is any different than the other.

Done with this topic.
Next..

[TTUBatfan2008]

35. Pay no attention to that billionaire behind the curtain.

Those $8 million checks from people like George Soros have no influence whatsoever. But you better believe the GOP donations are corrupt as hell.

[Katashi_itto]

39. Wonder if it will make Guinness Book of Records for "Most Pandering in Least Amount of Time"

[Buns_of_Fire]

43. Send her a dollar! RIGHT NOW!

I'm not kidding, Maddi! This is series! You, too, can own 1/1,000,000,000th of the new Clinton Administration!

Every dollar contributed will also be entered in the "Lucky Bucks" drawing, and every winner will receive a GENUINE email from Clinton Central™! (Percentage of ownership will be determined by total dollar amounts contributed per entry.)
