Management 101.......

You make money run thru your hands on the way from the origin to the end point. Some of that money can't help but stick to your own fingers.

Stein is just trying to manage herself to some position of relevance.......any position of relevance, for the future.

I predict she fails.

What's to wonder about?


Hillary needs 38 electoral votes.


WI, MI and PA combined have 46.


Hillary can't demand a recount after scolding Trump about accepting the election results, so she is going through Stein.

Not if the money is coming from foreign nationals it isn't. It's perfectly illegal for foreign nationals to donate to political elections and illegal for campaigns to accept the money. Looks like Hillarys disdain for the law is rubbing off on Stein.

If recount is such a great idea why didn't Hillary ask for it? Besides, Stein can't afford it. The recount in Michigan alone costs $6m. I don't know how the states can undertake such massive undertaking without seeing the money first. And in Pennsylvania where I am, there is no way to "recount." We have the old electric voting machines. You push a big button. There is nothing to hack or even a paper record.

It's always amusing when one poster tries to agree with another poster in a confrontational manner.

Isn't it just an extra task for them, and they DON'T get paid extra, as per salary?
