The man makes a strong truth based argument as always.

but as a Former SOS, and First Lady she sure as hell can get air time to speak on this issue and a lot more. Problem is she isn't doing that, she doesn't have a stand to take on issues yet. Yet. In my eyes, that's a real fucking problem. As a poster said last night, day 21 has dawned.

That of course is the goal of Citizens United, to OWN our government.

Whatever her own positions on issues may be, she has to consider the people who are paying to put her in the WH.

Otoh, with Bernie now refusing to take Corporate money, she could join him and then challenge the Republicans to do the same.

IF her own views are different from those of her corporate funders, she can free herself up and cast off the chains of Wall St money, and speak her own mind. Assuming that she does not support their views.
