80. We just can't demand...
Sun Feb 7, 2016, 12:17 PM
Feb 2016

the details of the love affair between Lloyd Bankfein and Hillary.

Because taking millions from Goldman Sachs will NOT clout anyone's judgement, right?

What's the difference between Ted Cruz taking Wall Street money and Hillary taking money from the exact same source?

Does that mean that Hillary and her supporters are morally and politically closer to Ted Cruz than Bernie Sanders and his supporters?

Good for her. Don't feed the trolls. DanTex Feb 2016 #1

Possibly. R. Daneel Olivaw Feb 2016 #45
probably exactly as bad as we imagine,but it won't go away until she releases it,and she won't virtualobserver Feb 2016 #57
Of course the speculation is worse. Have you been to any of these corporate event things? DanTex Feb 2016 #82
