Can anyone give me the current amount of the huge corporate donations Hillary has been getting?

[upaloopa]

This is all the more noble since he is not accepting the huge Corporate donations all the other candidates are receiving.

1. You normally have to wait for the end of quarter FEC reports. Last one showed

about $30 million held by the two largest HRC-aligned SuperPacs. No doubt, that's just seed money.

7. The interesting thing is that Sanders never skips a chance to tell us..........

........that he received donations from "over a million donors" at an average of $31 each. That was what he said the first time around. Then after showing the fallacy of that he toned it down to 750,000 donors who gave over a million donations averaging $31 (essentially admitting that upwards of 250,000 could have given $62, or more).

Who knows what the next iteration will be....500,000 donors? 250,000 donors?

The clever thing is that donors don't have to give personal information about themselves (name, occupation, employer), if they only give $31, and the campaign doesn't have to document those donations. So, does the Sanders campaign REALLY know how many individual donors they have or what the DONOR average is? Obviously it's more than $31 each if at least 250,000 of them are repeats.

[AgingAmerican]

10. So are you a Pied Piper for Corporate funded elections?

[upaloopa]

15. What the hell does that mean? That's just another to you make up shit

Explain this

This is all the more noble since he is not accepting the huge Corporate donations all the other candidates are receiving.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251791029

[AgingAmerican]

16. It means you are a pied piper for Citizens United

Which you are basically claiming doesn't allow corporate donations. Just more denial of reality from Hillary supporters.

[upaloopa]

40. You haven't answered the question

give me the current amount of the huge corporate donations Hillary has been getting?

You all say Hillary is getting huge corporate donations but you can't back it up

If you all are so sure give us the link to your inside information. Innuendo isn't information it's just more bull shit like the very first statement.

[AgingAmerican]

44. It's an open secret!

https://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/contrib.php?cid=N00000019&cycle=Career

Do you know what 'Dark Money' is?

[George II]

13. An interesting observation is that 98% of Clinton's funds came from individuals, 96% for Sanders!

That belies the "facts" that have been thrown around for months - the true FACT is that a higher percentage of Clinton's donations came from individuals than Sanders' donations.

[merrily]

30. LOL!

[MohRokTah]

4. The amount is precisely $0. eom

[George II]

5. Yes I can......ZERO. It's illegal for corporations to donate to candidates.

$0.00 , ZED, CERO, NULL, NICHTS, SERO.

I can add zero in a few other languages but I think the point has been made.

I don't know how many times we have post this before Sanders supporters realize that she does NOT take any "huge corporate donations".

[leveymg]

8. Deceptive - Corps and their execs can give unlimited $$$ to SuperPacs aligned with candidates.

Hillary has at least two captive SuperPacs that have raised at least $30 million as of the last quarter. You seem to be trying to obscure the facts. Not surprised.

[George II]

9. That wasn't the question. Seems YOU are trying to obscure the correct answer(s) to the questions.

[leveymg]

12. No. I'm not answering according to the artificial criteria you would like to apply to obscure the

fact that Hillary receives large donations (at least eight of $1 million or more). See, http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2015/09/18/super-pac-backing-hillary-clinton-accelerates-fundraising/

[George II]

17. I didn't pose the question.

And what you're saying here, "Hillary receives large donations (at least eight of $1 million or more)", is totally incorrect.

[AgingAmerican]

11. They want to pretend that Citizens United either doesn't exist

...or if it does, it is good.

[leveymg]

18. They would like to pretend that they control the debate by Big Lies. Repeat falsehoods and some

will believe them. Rinse and repeat. They're haplessly hopeless.

[AgingAmerican]

19. You can fool some of the people all of the time

And all of the people some of the time. But you can't fool all the people all of the time.

[Sheepshank]

23. CU organization is not a donor to Clinton's campaign. She will work for reforms

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251787719

no one is pretending that CU exists. I'm not ever sure what you are saying....

[AgingAmerican]

25. CU is a supreme court ruling

Which Hillary takes full advantage of. Of course her supporters want to rug-sweep this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC

[Sheepshank]

28. It is also an organization embroiled in a lawsuit with Clinton

...an organiztion that is also making a movie about Clinton.

There is no love lost between Clinton and CU...so with that in mind...the idea that there is actually an organization, your post above doesn't make much sense. care to re-word it?

[AgingAmerican]

32. We are talking about the Supreme court ruling

That allows unlimited corporate money in elections.

[Sheepshank]

35. still don't understand what you mean by some pretending CU doesn't exist.

I think we all know they exist.

[AgingAmerican]

36. See OP

And see the feigned ignorance of your own last sentence.

[merrily]

31. Be real. What part of "PAC," "soft money" and "dark money" do you not get?

[leftofcool]

6. zero

[brooklynite]

14. Answer: none

Corporations cannot contribute to political campaigns.

[leveymg]

21. You're dead wrong. Many Corporations have their own PACs.

But, unlike SuperPacs, company PACs are limited in the amount they can give to any particular candidate and there are caps on donations to Political Parties. You obviously have never been involved with campaign fundraising.

[George II]

33. True, and only 2% of all contributions to Clinton's campaign are from PACs. Sanders has a higher %.

[leveymg]

39. Bernie doesn't have $70-100 million SuperPacs, unlike Hillary and Jeb!

Bernie's PAC money is negligible, and almost all of that is from unions.

[George II]

42. Hillary Clinton doesn't have any Super PACs, by law she's prohibited from having any....

You should familiarize yourself with Federal Campaign Finance Law.

[leveymg]

43. The term is "coordinated." Hillary has plenty of lawyers to interpret that her way.

That should come as no surprise, even to you.

Don't be patronizing and pedantic. It doesn't suit you.

[AgingAmerican]

22. They aren't 'contributions'

They are a 'business transaction' according to the dissenting opinion on Citizens United by justice Stevens.

[pinebox]

20. What's dark money?

Shining a Light on Corporate "Dark Money"
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30041-shining-a-light-on-corporate-dark-money#14472683421731&action=collapse_widget&id=0&data=

One of the most troubling aspects of the explosion of big money in politics in recent years is the rapid rise in spending by groups that aren't required to disclose their donors.

Right now, corporations and super-rich political donors like the Koch brothers can funnel millions into elections through groups that hide their identities, leaving voters and candidates unable to tell who's behind the attack ads they buy in bulk, or what their agendas are.

More than $600 million of this so-called "dark money" has already been poured into our federal elections, and that's only going to increase as we ramp up for the next presidential race.

Americans aren't happy about this.

[Sheepshank]

24. Damn you Hillary...this CU crappola is all your fault!!!

[AgingAmerican]

26. It is a 'business transaction' according to Justice Stevens

[pinebox]

27. lol

yup

[merrily]

29. Hillary or her PACs?

[George II]

34. Hillary Clinton doesn't have any PACs.

[leveymg]

41. That statement is so Orwellian that it's hysterically funny.

[postatomic]

37. This may come as a shock to some people

The Hillary Campaign is encouraging people to donate directly to her campaign, and not PACs. This is what Obama did. There will be PAC money because there are some individuals that have a few million to donate.

The reason for this? The Democrats can't compete with the Republicans when it comes to PAC money. The plus side to this is that PACs pay a higher ad rate than actual Campaigns, so you get more bang for your dollar if the Campaign buys the ad.

And I need to state this again; the 2012 Election Cycle had both Obama and Romney right around $ 1 BILLION each, but Obama had more donations made directly to his campaign.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

38. Of course. Corporations have nothing at all to do with Super Pacs.
