Hillary Clinton fundraises for de Blasio

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Bill de Blasio once worked for Hillary Clinton. He ran her campaign for senate back in 2000.

13 years later, Former Secretary of State Clinton is doing him a favor as she steps back into the political spotlight.

It was as big a get as it gets in the world of Democratic Party politics.

Hillary Clinton, the party's brightest star, came home to New York Monday night to raise over a million dollars for her old friend bill de Blasio's already muscular campaign for mayor.

I am going to be paying very close attention to Ms. Clinton. I am not altogether on anybody's bandwagon for 2016. But she's one of the ones who I'm watching closely. But don't expect me to commit until 2016.

.... Clinton , bravely throwing her customary calculating caution to the wind... decides to help DeBlasio *fund-raise*.

What bravery. What vision. What a woman. What a LEADER.

AND.... we're supposed to be *happy* about this.

Well...aside from buying influence w. the now inevitable deBlasio Administration... how does the $$$ these *anonymous* movers and shakers ( Were they 1%-ers? Who knows. The campaign didn't allow pictures and won't release names of attendees. That sure fills ME with confidence!) further the cause of reducing income inequality... which cause Mr.. DeB. has repeatedly returned to throughout the campaign?

This theme is exactly WHY he's 44 points ahead. He needs the $$$ these people are pouring into the campaign ( I was going to say "race" but it's hard to call a 44 point lead a "race&quot at the last minute like he needs a malignant tumor.

I think what you said the other day is true that we have to begin to hold his feet to the fire. The politicians will do what they have to to get themselves elected.
