Who she fundraises from has jack shit to do with it. You try to win a presidential election without serious coin from large donors. Even with Obama's grassroots $5 here and $200 there campaign, they still needed massive money from unions, lawyers, fiancial centers, etc.

So what specifically during Hillary's time in the senate did she do to cause you to believe she's nothing but a corporatist?
