Really sad how the media and many Hillary detractors in 2016 seem to have little problem with 45

raising 24 million in 24 hours. They just sit back in awe. Yet when a Democrat, especially HRC received huge contributions from Hollywood and other entertainment stars and was paid for speeches on Wall Street it was disqualifying for exciting the Democratic base to get out and vote. Trump's base doesn't care where his money comes from, obviously. They just like the fact that if he has it, nobody else does. Yet we don't even know from where 45' big contributions come. At least the media is not raising the question. Our dubious quest for the PERFECT progressive brought us here and here we may remain.

It’s ok if you’re a republican. They play by a different rule book ... or no rule book at all. Add a big shake of misogyny and there you have it.

It involves “The Horse Race” and ratings to generate revenue. Filling airtime between ads for drugs we never knew we needed.
