George Soros donates $8 million to boost Hillary

George Soros in December donated $6 million to the leading super PAC supporting Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, marking the return of the billionaire financier as among the biggest givers in all of American politics.

The massive check brings to $8 million the Hungarian-born investor's total 2015 giving to pro-Clinton groups.

The super PAC that received the $6-million check, Priorities USA Action, raised $25 million in the second half of 2015, according to a report it filed Sunday evening with the Federal Election Commission. The haul brings the PAC’s tally to $41 million for the year, and left it with a strong $36 million in the bank headed into the year.

Isn't it quite clear now why all the "liberal" media outlets are writing hit piece on Bernie?
Just where did all that money go, specifically?
They don't have to clarify though, right? That's the point. It's the dark money. It's all going to those "ads" that make up for bottom-line for those "liberal" media.

No, nono
Whew. I better put that in there.....

I mean......

How can anybody 'root" for her? Get excited about her. it is just beyond me.

I mean it is like rooting for the Yankees in the 1950s, which, in probably George Will's only intelligent statement, was like rooting for U S Steel..

But, that has a different connotation now, so......
