2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Iowa Families First Crowd demands to know, "Where is Clinton?" [View all]
With Clinton out of sight, some voters chose to vocalize their lack of enthusiasm for the female front-runner. A small "Where is Clinton" chant between O'Malley's and Sanders' appearances quickly grew into a loud affair, involving most of the room.

So, where was Clinton?
Recovering from a couple days of rich-only fundraising in Los Angeles, apparently:
Clinton today will also conduct what is billed as a "family celebration" at the Jim Henson Co. studio lot in Hollywood.
Tickets are priced at $500. Individuals donating $1,000 will receive one adult ticket and a ticket for a individual under 16 years old. Donors contributing $2,700 will receive one adult ticket and two tickets for individuals under 16 years old, according to information posted on the website PoliticalPartyTime.org which tracks political fundraisers.
The maximum individual contribution under federal law for a candidate seeking his or her party's presidential nomination is $2,700.
Clinton will be joined by Berkshire Hathaway Chairman and CEO Warren Buffett at an evening reception at the L.A.-area home of City National Bank Chairman and CEO Russell Goldsmith and his wife, Karen.
Tickets are $2,700, according to an invitation obtained by City News Service. Individuals raising $10,000 will be co-hosts of the event and have a photo taken with Clinton.

A "families celebration" that costs $500 to get in.
I don't know about you, but $500 is far more than most pay a month for a car or nearly half a house payment for MOST families.

"Jim Henson" - might be muppets there. Not to mention - 2 adults (sans kids) could just buy 2 $500

Hillary Clinton reminds me of famous athletes who will not sign autographs for free.
