(1,253 posts)Vote to give Bush the authorization to slaughter 100s of thousands innocents?
Scoff at the idea of free college?
Support DOMA until 2010?
Support Nafta, the TPP?
Lie about her opponent's proposed expansion of Medicare by stating he wants to dismantle it?
Support Fracking?
Take 21 million in speaking fees in 3 years knowing she will then run for President?
If that's a "True Democrat" then count me out...

(8,760 posts)Only when she can't legally take one more dime....then she passes off the next $33,400 to her pal Debbie Wasserman Schultz at the DNC.
It ain't called the HILLARY victory fund for nothin'.

(8,760 posts)She doesn't share a dime....she passes on money ONLY when she has taken the maximum amount.
The difference is that Hillary has a bunch of rich donors.....Bernie has an incredibly small number of people who have maxed out.....whereas Hillary gets most of her money from people who have maxed out.
riversedge
(70,306 posts)his share--then pass the rest along. Your 'logic' needs an upgrade
virtualobserver
(8,760 posts)is aimed exclusively at the rich.....and since Debbie Wasserman Schultz has shown herself willing to put her thumb on the scale for Hillary......The tiny number of wealthy donors that could donate more than $5400 to Bernie would be fools to hand that money to DWS.

(3,457 posts)You really believe that all those megadonors are not going to get a payback?
And if the money goes to DWS, don't be surprised when she uses it to support Republicans and their favorite causes. We've already seen it--
The warning signs have been there for years. As co-chair of the "Red to Blue" campaign to help increase Democratic seats in the House, she refused to support the Democrats running against three potentially vulnerable Florida Republicans - Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Lincoln Diaz-Balart and Mario Diaz-Balart - because of her friendship with those Republicans.

(20,234 posts)Everyone here, yourself included, is fully aware that the DNC is actively working against Bernie - sending out sample ballots without his name, the whole superdelegate situation, etc.
Fundraising for the organization with DWS at the helm would be like asking taxpayers to bailout the banks that have been stealing from the taxpayers.
Oh, wait.

Also, "Democrat voters"?
I will never get used to people who say that instead of DEMOCRATIC.

(10,164 posts)Hillary motivates the base like no other candidate...the Republican base. She de-motivates young voters, a left-leaning voting bloc. She tanks among independents, 40% of the electorate.
Pure downballot poison.

(17,320 posts)increase her personal wealth. Since many if not most other Dems are the same way, she might be
a true blue democrat.
She is "pedal to the metal" driving the Democratic money making machine.
