The more DWS and DNC try to help Hillary

the more it will hurt her

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/02/12/dnc-drops-ban-lobbyists-pac-money/80291908/

The move could help boost the coffers of Democrat Hillary Clinton, who has teamed with the DNC to raise money aggressively. Her campaign accepts contributions and fundraising help from lobbyists.

"This move by the DNC is a major step in the wrong direction and is in direct conflict with the American people’s deep concerns about the role of influence money in Washington," said Fred Wertheimer, president of Democracy 21. "The DNC is acting as if the party is blind to the anger and frustration with Washington that is being expressed by voters in both parties as the presidential nominating process unfolds."

He'd call her out for supporting the Iraq war, calling TPP the gold standard, and supporting H-1Bs. Then he'd say that she was very corrupt, and how he bought her off with his donations.

A few restrictions remain in place, however: No lobbyists or PAC representatives can attend DNC events that feature Obama, Vice President Biden or their wives


Hillary or her Husband not include in the above. I can picture a bucket at the end of the receiving line...

When the rest of us bailed out of the DNC donation push ...

They were calling me every day ... I finally answered and informed them that, for now, I am donating directly to candidates ... That I have no intention if restarting my donations until DWS is gone ...

The calls have stopped ...
