If ya go to a dance, ya gotta dance with the one who brung ya. A Hillary win

and Hillary will be doing a stately dance with her big donors, in the corridors of power and her dance card is full.

A Bernie win and Bernie will be dancing in the streets with those who've taken him to the White House. Millions of Americans are ready for America to have a brand new beat.


Come on, join us, form that big strong line.





















Make no mistake those who have paid lavishly to bring Hilliary to their dance know she'll be dancing with them because Hillary and they know that you gotta dance with the ones that brung ya.

The Associated Press notes that during Hillary Clinton’s time as secretary of state, Bill Clinton earned $17 million in talks to banks, insurance companies, hedge funds, real estate businesses, and other financial firms. Altogether, the couple are estimated to have made over $139 million from paid speeches.

Is there a big business type here that could explain how a single speech to your board would ever have a real value of $225,000 to your company? I'd love to know.

6. The Chamber of Commerce is confident Hillary will support the TPP

In an interview from Davos with Bloomberg TV on January 20, Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue, a top lobbyist for the pro-corporate-power Trans-Pacific Partnership [TPP] agreement, assured viewers that if Hillary Clinton wins the Presidential election, Clinton will support the TPP, even though she opposes it now.

Reporting on the interview, Inside U.S. Trade noted:

The Chamber president said he expected Hillary Clinton would ultimately support the TPP if she becomes the Democratic nominee for president and is elected. He argued that she has publicly opposed the deal chiefly because her main challenger, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), has also done so. "If she were to get nominated, if she were to be elected, I have a hunch that what runs in the family is you get a little practical if you ever get the job," he said.
