Children want to speak to her? Cough up $2700, family photo with the liberals anointed one? $10000.
So she sets the tone for her presidency. Want something, pay up.
Middle class can pound sand.
Why are we pretending like private fund raisers didnt exist until 2016 ????
The impression she is giving is that if you can't pay, you don't matter.
Thats your impression, mine is when it comes to financing a Presidential campaign these days you need close to a billion bucks to be successful,she gets that money from many donations and fund raisers and she gets it from people willing to give it to her campaign, How do you think she would be doing if she lived in a 3rd floor walk up in Hoboken worked partime at the local MacDonalds and drove a 20 year old beater?.

Yes indeed. It's hard to escape the impression that Trump is being graded on a curve. If he manages to read from a TelePrompter without going off script, he's being presidential. If he seems to suggest that he wouldn't round up all 11 million undocumented immigrants right away, he's moving into the mainstream. And many of his multiple scandals, like what appear to be clear payoffs to state attorneys general to back off investigating Trump University, get remarkably little attention. Worse, Trump's payoff was from his foundation, which makes the contribution illegal.
Meanwhile, we have the presumption that anything Hillary Clinton does must be corrupt, most spectacularly illustrated by the increasingly bizarre coverage of the Clinton Foundation. Consider the big Associated Press report suggesting that Mrs. Clinton's meetings with foundation donors while secretary of state indicate "her possible ethics challenges if elected president." What is the prime example The A.P. offered as questionable? It was of Mrs. Clinton meeting with Muhammad Yunus, a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize who also happens to be a longtime personal friend. If that was the best the investigation could come up with, there was nothing there -- as are all of Clinton "scandals."
The impression she is giving is that if you can't pay, you don't matter.
It is more than an "impression", it is the Clinton's way of life. I mean, she did it as SOS, so there are no limits.

But look at all the money she laundered through the Clinton Foundation from foreign nations like Saudi Arabia. Sadly, we'll all see that go back to them in one form or another if she is elected. Geesh, millions of foreign dollars and she is still bleeding people and involving children is stooping pretty low.

Oh, haven't you heard? Hillary just invited 40 members of the press to travel with her--on the plane.
Is that enough press to make everyone happy? Very smart move.
Is that plane loaded with supplies and headed for LA to assist flood victims and then on to Mexico to meet President Nieto? That would be quite the news story.
Otherwise, a non-issue.
Geesh, I guess if you mess up and ask the wrong question, you might accidentally fall out of the plane to your death.
I'd pay not to see her thus my donations to the Trump campaign.

That's quite a charge - "laundered [money] through the Clinton Foundation from foreign nations like Saudi Arabia." Too bad it is fiction.
Step back for a moment, and think about what that foundation is about. When Bill Clinton left office, he was a popular, globally respected figure. What should he have done with that reputation? Raising large sums for a charity that saves the lives of poor children sounds like a pretty reasonable, virtuous course of action. And the Clinton Foundation is, by all accounts, a big force for good in the world. For example, Charity Watch, an independent watchdog, gives it an “A” rating -- better than the American Red Cross.
You could imagine the Clintons using the foundation as a slush fund to reward their friends, or, alternatively, Mrs. Clinton using her positions in public office to reward donors. So it was right and appropriate to investigate the foundation’s operations to see if there were any improper quid pro quos. As reporters like to say, the sheer size of the foundation “raises questions.”
But nobody seems willing to accept the answers to those questions, which are, very clearly, “no.” There is no evidence at all that the Foundation was "laundering" money. It would also be highly illegal and front-page news.

Baseless bs allegations that are all part of the Trump smear campaign. At best she met with contributors of the foundation which is a reasonable course of action for some one making large donations to a charity.her money trail is open for all to see as she made public her income tax returns, where are all these millions of foreign dollars and the bleeding of people ? By the way those children are getting much benefit from that foundation..https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_Foundation
