And I also learned something - "Clinton Foundation paid Female Executives 38% less than Male Executives" ---

I really hope that's not true.
IdaBriggs
(10,559 posts)to be a lot of them -- female staffers making $15k less than male staffers when she was a Senator, and the traditional discounted rates for the Executive staff at Clinton Foundation.
It is also noted she supported the "Lily Ledbetter Equal Pay Act" but she is being called a hypocrite for her behavior (but the numbers are being pulled from the tax records/may not reflect titles and/or experience?).
I am sure we will learn more as the election progressed. It showed up on Twitter, and she can disprove it or not.
I wouldn't be surprised. Disappointed, but not surprised.

(58,785 posts)A screenful of sites calling for HILLARY to concede. After she has already locked up the nomination. A HufPost "Hillary concede" article from several days ago has been locked at the top of my search screen for at least 2 days.
Somebody has invested a bunch of money in stacking these search results. But the "Hillary concede" stuff? It could be on Bernie's behalf, but my guess is that this is a Right Wing smear machine attack squarely on all of us as Democrats and our nominee.

(7,231 posts)the writing on the wall (compare her position-shifting on gay marriage, the TPP, TTIP, at alii):
the 20th century is over. Party like it's 1999 is not a good platform for the Democratic Party of 2016.
That's pretty much the gist of the writing on the wall.

Unfortunately for his ardent fans, this equation includes Indiana, where he prevailed last night with a six-point victory, but where he needed a win that was vastly larger if he intends to catch up to the rival he trails. It may seem counter-intuitive, but a modest win in Indiana actually leaves Sanders worse off than he was 24 hours ago it was not only too narrow a victory, it also shrinks the number of remaining opportunities hell have to close the gap.

(2,064 posts)sure, some may come over. But any progressive truly dedicated to economic justice and AGAINST corporatism will not vote for a candidate who is nothing more than a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs. Maybe you're comfortable rubbing elbows with the same forces that walk all over poor & working class Americans EVERY DAY, but millions of progressives are not, and we can't be shamed or threatened or extorted into voting for a 3rd Way corporatist. It ain't happening.
IF she's the nominee she'll just have to find enough pro-choice corporatist Independents and Republicans to make up for the millions of progressive votes she WON'T be getting.
Good luck with that...

(6,007 posts)Clinton has highest percentage of fake followers
An audit of Hillary Clinton's main Twitter feed, @HillaryClinton, shows that 41 percent of her followers are not real people, a far higher percentage of fake followers than all other Republican or Democratic candidates.
