The financial industry and others pay her mortgage, donate to her campaign, and fund her superPACS

She literally owes them everything.

She can't fund her campaign without them.

She is dead in the water without those high end fundraisers.
It is impossible to conceive of a way that she could be more beholden to them.

Blankfein is actually out there attacking Bernie now.

She is actually cancelling fundraisers because of bad "optics".

There is not an artful smear, just an artful dodge from Hillary.

What she failed to mention was the billionaires who support her. Lloyd Blankfein, George Soros and Warren Buffett to name a few.

They know how to make good investments as well and in this case the investment would seem to be Hillary Clinton.
