https://theintercept.com/2016/04/07/super-pac-backer-reveals-that-big-money-entitles-donors-to-campaign-oversight/Heres how Hoffman puts it: Large donors
often serve as an executive board of sorts, challenging campaigns to act worthy of their investment.
I wonder who Hillary's executive board of oversight is. Fossil Fuel, BigPharma, Monsanto, Fracking, Wall street, a veritable who's who of the worst of the worst in special interests.

you pay the big bucks - you expect a return . . . like any investment!
That's extraordinary. And very very very bad.
Of course no media will report on this. Or ask Hillary what she thinks about what Hoffman said.
