She only donated fundraising to Flint, not cash. You don't get rich by spending your own money.

That's what led to the French Revolution, the bourgeoisie wanted to convert their capital into political power.

Because the campaign will probably cost a billion dollars. The Koch Brothers alone said they were spending over 900 million on it.

Is this your first rodeo?

She knew she'd shortly be running for President. She decided it was a good idea to take millions personally for making speeches to corporations.

She was directly working with Ready For Hillary in 2013. Pure greed and arrogance.

Way ahead to be successful. This all sounds like jealousy of a successful woman to me.

When you do a google search, why does every website say that the Clintons, together have a net worth of $110 million?

To build her very own DeathStar, of course.
To build a fleet of yachts for her family, of course.

What do you think she's doing with her money? Or do you just like to throw questions out into the void and hope that someone else will pick them up and run?

Each Party's candidate will spend over a billion. Clinton can't spend that on her own like Trump.

Even the best-intentioned player on the national stage knows that power doesn't pay attention to the poors.
