to campaigns

"Contributions from the securities and investment industries comprise her fourth-largest pile of campaign money, totaling $2,044,471. Commercial banks have given $443,519 directly to her campaign."

Individuals can contribute up to $2,700 to a campaign.


In logic if any one of your premises is invalid your whole argument is invalid


If you want to beat the repubs you better hope we have the money to do it

Wall Streeters loves their Hillary, and she loves them back.

If that doesn't matter to you, fine. But don't use technicalities as a smokescreen to deny that.

But some of us don't feel comfortable with a candidate with such close ties to the banksters.

I mean, she stated her distaste for the corrosive effect of money in politics. Or, was that a wink-wink, nudge-nudge, moment....again?
