(45,319 posts)millions of dollars in debt, those debts were paid off for her by yet another set of donors. So in 08 did she really 'kick in' or did she just give money borrowed from Peter to support Paul, then later just get Luke to pay Peter back? I see the money moving about but I do not see how it is her giving from her own to others.
If I borrow 2 million from you, hand out 2 million to Skinner and Sid Dithers, then ask voters to give me 2 million to pay you back, who has actually kicked in to Skinner and Sid? You and the voters, not me. I just handled the cash as it moved passed me.
Campaigns tend to end in debt. That changes the paradigm of money 'donated' by those campaigns which add to their debts....

(16,975 posts)The local news stations like KTLA and KCAL only covered a couple scenes and the tone wasn't a good look for Sanders at all.
They only briefly showed her motorcade going by, but the camera focused in on dollar bills lying in the street with some commentary that emphasized the bizarreness of the supporters with a couple choice words. Then they showed the BS supporters dancing in the street looking absolutely unhinged, giddy and a bit manic. It really looked bad. The reporter's focus on the bizarreness of the "protest" really came through.
GeorgiaPeanuts
(2,353 posts)The protest achieved its goal, it got on local and national news, George Clooney is on record agreeing with the protesters. If they did a standard boring protest it would not have been reported on. Mission accomplished and bad look for Hilldawg
R B Garr
(16,975 posts)on local TV. Bad look for people in costumes laughing and dancing in the streets with such childishness.
And it's obvious a lot of people are just placating the BS people. Especially if they are camped outside your house and acting manic.
jmg257
(11,996 posts)It is ongoing (literally right now) - and includes talk of the severe dislike for Clinton.
Basically it draws even more light on to the $$$ & corruption.
Clooney is able to explain the down-ticket impact if the report is thorough enough, which is good.
R B Garr
(16,975 posts)the streets. They looked positively giddy and unhinged. I suppose if you like that sort of look, it would be meaningful to you.
And I saw what Clooney said. It was a bit truncated for presentation, but I also got that it dealt with the REALITY of the situation. Clinton is the front runner in an expensive GE election, and the GOP isn't giving up squat for anyone, so you move forward with what you can do.
And Sanders is obviously using Hillary as a cash machine, himself. He can't get by a day without hating on her to raise money. That makes him the same as the rest of them.
jmg257
(11,996 posts)Either way, more light on the corruption involved in the obscene amount of monies is always good.
R B Garr
(16,975 posts)So much corruption, and phoniness on top of it. Sanders is using Hillary for $$$.
jmg257
(11,996 posts)- that fuels the fires. No doubt. Maybe that's your concern(?)
Glad people can see it more and more at work and make their decision of whom to support, or not.
Its an awakening - I think for many.
R B Garr
(16,975 posts)then have at it. I call it opportunism masquerading as a cheap political stunt. Where would he be if he didn't have Hillary's coattails to cling to. He's just going about it in a different way, but he is definitely dependent and reliant on her for his current campaign position now. He just wears a different mask to go about his business, but he's definitely exploitative.
jmg257
(11,996 posts)He definitely did/doing better once he got down and dirtier.

(10,786 posts)Weird how lucrative the Hillary hating business is these days.

But, of course, that should be of no concern to any downticket Democratic candidates or anybody who wants a Democratic President. Or so Clinton's supporters would have us all believe.

(10,786 posts)rich minions showering her with thousand dollar bills could not have been more stark.

(16,975 posts)of dollar bills made it look like what it was. Extremists having fun. The motorcade was gone in a flash, so there was no stark contrast. Just a few people acting giddy because they could be on TV.

(14,920 posts)other than the people doing it. If they want to throw money away, maybe they could spring for another international junket for the extended Sanders family and their entourage. I heard the lobster sliders on the in-flight snack menu were out of this world!

(46,757 posts)If he were up for an acting role on this issue, I'm pretty damn sure he would want to play the role of the neighbor who handed out a thousand dollar bills to throw at the motorcade.
