The sheer ridiculousness of your post would be funny it were not in deadly, willfully ignorant earnest.

Please stop repeating what your buddies in Freeperville tell you. Either you know you are not telling the truth or you're truly ignorant enough to believe whatever Right Wingers tell you, in either case, spreading such obvious fiction reflects poorly on you.

Her history proclaims to you be not telling the truth here, and your primary objective seems to be riling up people when they're at the height of emotion due to the utter failure of Bernie to win many votes or behave with any sort of propriety or integrity here.

Can you at least TRY to be serious or factual?

Goldman Sachs and other firms will be happy to invite you to speak and pay your fees.

Here is a list of their speakers:
http://www.goldmansachs.com/our-thinking/talks-at-gs/?session=all

Note that since you're not a political celebrity, were not a successful and popular Senator, Secretary of State or Fomrer First Lady, you're going to do a heck of a lot of earn your fee.

That's why no one wants to pay Bernie or Jane these fees, they've accomplished few things, Hillary is underpaid compared to comparable MALE speakers of her stature.

Also, is this confirmation that you're pro-Bribery?

It's not an hourly wage, its a fee for services rendered, and Hillary is underpaid as a speaker compared to men of her stature. You might want to go learn a bit about how speaking fees work, why they're not an hourly wage and how much people of her stature get per speech. There are many resources you can access so that you might educate yourself, posting out of ignorance isn't making you look very good.

Have fun learning stuff!

If you did your homework and didn't just spout right wing talking points helpfully served up to you by "helpful" Ratfckers, you'd have realized that. I guess doing your homework is too difficult, so instead you advocate bribery, which is totes cool if Bernie is doing the bribing and benefits, no wonder you don't want to see his taxes, you know what's there, don't ya?

... she does donate her speaking fees to charity.

Secondly, she was not an "elected official" when she made the speeches; she was a private citizen.

Thirdly, the term "billary" is a RW term, and its usage is usually seen as indicative of someone who IS a RWer. You might want to keep that in mind for future reference.

He's been in this race for a year now. Don't you think that was ample time for any SD who had second thoughts about supporting HRC to switch their allegiance? Any one of them can do so at any time - and yet they haven't.

And no, SDs are not bound by "the will of the people". And yet they have never overturned that will, once it was apparent which candidate the people had chosen via their votes and their delegates.

Those superdelegates that are elected Democratic office holders aren't fools. They are well aware that the moment they cast one vote, give one speech, endorse one candidate that doesn't meet the test of some of the more singleminded Sanders' supporters, they will be thrown under the bus,no matter what they do at the convention.
