If it was anything like the millions she's gotten from the Big Banks, then yeah she's owned.

But it's somehow doubtful that campers could do anything like the damage that Wall Street has done and can still do to America.

speeches she gave? Let's come up with some broader conspiracy theories!

if we want transparency in our elections we are ct

if we do not believe people receive 153 million bucks for "nothing" we are ct

got it

That's Clinton 101.

This is not a false accusation and voters should know that.

so the "owned by Wall Street" meme is silly. It's not even an "artful" smear. It's blatantly misleading.

Just beautiful diagnosed the problem:

"The answer is right there in plain sight if we open our eyes and look - they talk about it themselves - who is there core constituency these days? It's satisfied, successful professionals: members of the upper stratum of the professional class. And they themselves will actually say this when they're talking about their demographic appeal - that's one of the main props of the party. They're quite open about it.. And this is the one group that basically gets everything they want from the Democratic Party. Very satisfied with the Democratic Party and thinks Hillary Clinton is a great candidate, that looks at the Obama years with profound satisfaction... And if you look at them from that perspective, the Democrats as a class party... The class in question is not the working class; it's not Roosevelt's people. It's not the Middle Class; Harry Truman's people or Lyndon Johnson's people.

It's the professional class.

They would rather lose than change the way they do things.

Democrats love to moan about the Koch Brothers, and the hierarchy of money and the 1%... How dreadful it is. But after doing all this research on the Democratic Party it dawned on me it's the 10% - it's the upper stratum of the professional class that is the mass constituency for inequality...probably the majority of those people are Democrats.. They have no problem with it, the leadership of the Democratic Party.

They think inequality is sad they thinks it's kind of tragic that we've lost that middle class world of the 50s and 60s and 70s, but there's nothing you can do about that."

and that 10% number is probably in the ball park, who then use their status and
influence to hector us 'little people' to do the 1% bidding.

Everybody else is basically excess baggage.

Surprised Hill didn't have her exquisitely perfect speeches recorded for posterity.

Why I'll bet she could have given Abe Lincoln a run for his money. The Gettysburg Address got nothin' on Hill.

"blah blah", "blah blah blah blah"

It's the 153,000,000.00 dollars that is the issue.

Going on the speaking circuit is a common way that former high government officials cash in, becoming rich as a result of their public service.

And many of us out here in the real world see it as kind of sleazy. It is legal, but I don't respect former public servants who cash in.

Most public officials understand that cashing in is what you do after you've completed your public service. Going back to the voters asking for support after you've cashed in is a pretty difficult proposition.

I have to wonder at all the political consultants for Clinton, Obama, and the DNC who got on board the Hillary train for 2016. The entire Dem Establishment endorsed her as the one and only DNC-approved candidate, all of them knowing about Hillary's time on the speaking circuit.

The entire Dem Establishment was so very out of touch that they never even imagined a $250,000 speech to CitiBank or Goldman Sachs might be a hindrance to electing a Democratic candidate. They deserve to go down to defeat for their obliviousness.
