that "most of that money" (the 15 million collected from the SF fundraiser) went to "down ticket" candidates. I've been reading that this is not actually the case, that the majority of the money is circulated out to states and back into the HRC campaign. Wonder how many people listened to her say differently with the conviction of delivering a simple fact and believed it? I, of course, would have preferred to hear it stated as "The Clinton campaign claims that most of the money goes to down ticket candidates and state democratic parties"!

I have worked with fundraisers and the main point is getting them in the room with their checkbooks. It's very ugly.

wrong....Yet Bernie is running his successful presidential campaign WITHOUT Big Money from Fats Cats, you clueless, entitled Insiders Pundit Club. Excluding Bill Press who emphasized that major fact. Jesus on roller skates, these clowns are worthless and corrupt.
While Americans are struggling to live on $7.25 an hour, yeah this is obscene George.
