Hillary Leaves Campaign Trail Today to Hob Nob for $$$$$ With NYC Financial Elites

Hillary Clinton left the campaign trail today and is in New York City hosting a fundraiser with financial service executives where self-described “champions” give her campaign the maximum amount of money allowable under the law.

Here’s the truth: The Clinton campaign would not be leaving the campaign trail unless they were finding it difficult to keep pace with our historic numbers of individual contributions. And they also wouldn’t do it unless it was for a grotesque amount of money from a small number of super rich people. Probably at least $500,000.

Hillary can't get the $ she needs from ordinary people like us so she has to keep going back to big money donors with her hands out. What's ironic - she may max them out prematurely before this is over.

Live by the PAC, die by the PAC.

it's likely to go viral and not in a good way.
