Hillary Clinton arrives for $2700-per-ticket Portland fund-raiser

[Cheese Sandwich]

Hillary Clinton arrived at a Portland fundraiser Wednesday that attracted many of the area's prominent Democrats.

The former Secretary of State and First Lady arrived just before 2:30 p.m. at the Dunthorpe neighborhood home of Win McCormack and Carol Butler.

McCormack, one of the state's biggest Democratic donors, and Butler, a political consultant, hosted the 2,700-per-person event.

3. That's not all that much actually, for a fundraiser.

I suppose they could have a fundraiser where they sold tickets for $10, but where would they have it?

If you want to see the candidate speak in person, maybe even meet them, well, sad to say, you've got to pony up the money.

$2700 is cheap, relative to the Repubes.

5. I'll bet I could meet Senator Sanders for a hell of a lot less than that

And get actual answers to my questions instead of focus group tested platitudes.

6. You want Hillary to answer your questions? Simple, vote her into office and she will answer any

question she feels like answering.

On the other hand, the idiot repubs. are getting donations in the MILLIONS from single payers like Sheldon Adelson and the Kochs. Two brothers gave Raphael Ted Cruz 15 million. Walker from Wisconsin is getting even more from the Koch brothers.

7. I'm hoping that with some scrimping

and liquidating, I can contribute that much to Bernie's campaign. I'm already two twenty-sevenths of the way to my goal!

8. reminds me of some Latin American election "protests": 500 leaders of a yellow union show up

in SUVs and BMWs, chant about something the other party did 80 or 50 years before, and then drive off with nobody joining

and this union had brought 10,000 people at its height before it went corporate
