Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign set to get a boost from Billhttp://news.yahoo.com/hillary-clintons-2016-campaign-set-boost-bill-075000693--election.html
NEW YORK (AP) After largely staying in the background this summer as Hillary Rodham Clinton kicked off her second campaign for president, former President Bill Clinton is ready to take on a more active and public role in his wife's second bid for the White House.

BOLD is mine.
OK. I am a Bernie supporter. I am not a Hillary Clinton basher. And I think she is, in many ways, very highly qualified to be president. But NOT in the way I want.
My BOLD above and the rest of that article is a major reason I AM a Bernie supporter. I am tired of being hit in the head with millions of tons of money, manipulated, deceived, moved around and used like a pawn to keep the kings (and queens) safe.

Say as a very basic and conservative baseline, a candidate got 10 million people to give $10. That's $100 million. And that is just a baseline that could be expanded with more people and/or larger donations.

(6,994 posts)Well remember when he got involved in 2008? Probably didn't help her much but the fact is Bill has been behind the dreaming up the negativity against Bernie and so far he has failed miserably
