Events like the one Clinton attended Wednesday night "are exactly why it feels like American democracy is livin' on a prayer these days," writes columnist.

Bernie Sanders struck a blow against Hillary Clinton's campaign priorities on Wednesday night, noting that while she was attending a fundraising event hosted by a $17 billion investment fund, he was revving up an overflow crowd in Iowa, which holds it primary caucus in just four days.

"My opponent is not in Iowa tonight. She is raising money from a Philadelphia investment firm," Sanders told a crowd of about 1,000 people at the Music Man Square in Mason City, Iowa. "Frankly, I would rather be here with you..."

otherwise:

Clintons have taken millions of dollars in speaking fees from the health care industry. According to public disclosures, Hillary Clinton alone, from 2013 to 2015, made $2,847,000 from 13 paid speeches to the industry."

4. They won't listen to you when you tell them to "cut it out", if you don't take their money....

5. She almost has no choice really. Her funds are drying up

while Bernie can gain a million with one simple email campaign. His donors are nowhere near tapped out yet whereas most of hers shot their wad already. If this race goes on for a while, which appears likely, Hillary will absolutely NEED her Super PAC's to enable her to keep campaigning.

6. "millions of dollars in speaking fees from the health care industry"

Remember that next time someone here tries to pretend single-payer isn't possible.

Clinton tops 2016 field in drug industry donations


By Sarah Ferris - 10/17/15 09:51 AM EDT

Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton has received more campaign cash from drug companies than any candidate in either party, even as she proudly declares the industry is one of her biggest enemies.

Clinton accepted $164,315 in the first six months of the campaign from drug companies, far more than the rest of the 2016 field, according to an analysis by Stat News.
