...and I don't waste my finances on seats that are safely Democratic.
She took payday loan payola and slams a leading D Senator. Still think SHE is a D?
Tim was flirting with 1 million raised this month from small individual donations. He has more in state donations than DWS!

Payday lenders get a new ally.
03/01/2016 11:04 am ET | Updated May 17, 2016
WASHINGTON Payday lenders have been gunning for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau since the day President Barack Obama tapped Elizabeth Warren to set up the new agency. Theyve had plenty of help from congressional Republicans longtime recipients of campaign contributions from the payday loan industry. As the CFPB has moved closer to adopting new rules to shield families from predatory lending, the GOP has assailed the agency from every conceivable angle going after its budget, attempting to tie its hands with new layers of red tape, fomenting conspiracy theories about rogue regulators illegally shutting down businesses and launching direct attacks on payday loan rules themselves.
To date, the GOP blitz has resulted in a few close shaves for the young agency, but no actual defeats. But the industry has cultivated a powerful new ally in recent weeks: Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.).
Wasserman Schultz is co-sponsoring a new bill that would gut the CFPBs forthcoming payday loan regulations. Shes also attempting to gin up Democratic support for the legislation on Capitol Hill, according to a memo obtained by The Huffington Post.
LISTEN to HuffPosts analysis of the bill in the latest episode of the So That Happened politics podcast below. The discussion begins at the 53:35 mark:

Loan sharks do too, but have more integrity and honor, DWS. Hope she gets primaried out.

They needed to keep in the 2nd ad the $$ amount Payday lenders gave to DWS, though.

I keep waiting to hear from the Schultz/Clinton apologists why Debbie's payday scam is a good thing.

Because our biases prevent us from listening to that which would invalidate those biases.
