Hillary Clinton Room Post

Hillary Clinton campaign hires former Wall Street regulator for top finance post


By GABRIEL DEBENEDETTI and ANNIE KARNI


Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is getting a prominent Wall Street regulator atop its finance structure, shortly after Clinton made waves by going after hedge funds and executive compensation in Iowa this week.
Gary Gensler, the former Commodity Futures Trading Commission chairman who gained a reputation as an advocate of bank regulation, will serve as the campaign’s chief financial officer, a source with knowledge of the move confirmed to POLITICO on Thursday.

Even though Hillary has been on some of these issues during her time in the Senate it appears some thinks she got all of her issues set by Elizabeth Warren. I don't dislike EW and she is very good at her line of expertise but Hillary was already there.

Thanks, keep us up on the latest, some of us are still in the labor mill.

And yes some talking points are about to be blown away. And it annoys me that they say she is channeling Warren.

These issues are more than channeling possible rivals.

as have been posted, of late, the vitrol threads will get far less participation. IOWs, I predict 17,000 anti-HRC threads posted daily with 3 or 4 posters, kicking it.

Sundays have become a freak show.

Yesterday morn I saw a hit piece posted by one very busy person who must have been up early frantically searching for dirt to copy & paste

She had several op's show up at the same time

I read one that referred to what was happening on Hillary's campaign trail & quotes of statements she was making.
Something wasn't quite right.. so I checked the link.

Returned to the OP & saw the rec's & hi-fives starting to show up & posted that the LINK WAS FROM THE LAST CAMPAIGN. DATED 2008.

"Oops sorry" was her reply

I swear they don't even look at the date nor origin of the stuff they post. As with the one hit piece that quoted fuckin Ted Cruz last night. Scraping the bottom with that one.
They have lowered the respect DU once had.

Grateful for the Hillary Room.

^H
