"Donate to my campaign so I can pay myself to run for President!"
 
Clinton is so full of shit about everything she says.
 
"When I'm President the donations to the Clinton Foundation will REALLY improve. Bill and I are looking to expand our foreign donor base beyond its current foundation. My goal is to get some of the hard-nosed countries to contribute to the cause - for example, Syria, Iran and North Korea. We are not prejudicial in any way. We will take money from ANY source."
 
Yet she gets votes.... Lol
 
I just don't understand why anyone wants to vote for her. She is just as bad as Trump, but Trump just comes out and says the evil shit that he stands for, while Hillary does all her dirty laundry behind closed doors like a good little politician. They're both evil. They're both bad for this country. We're completely screwed.

She's such a fucking 2 faced liar. Says WHATEVER to win. Calling young blacks "Super Predators" that "need to be brought to a heel".

I'm NOT voting for her if she wins the primary.
 
And as a matter of fact, I've never voted for that lying bitch. I did vote for her hubby in 96. He was a solid president but did plenty of things that I disagree with today. She will never garner my vote.
 
I don't even know how she's a Democrat. She's another on of those Dick Cheney, Donald Rumself politicians who represent the corporations, and they don't care about the people. They care about money and that's it. I think Hillary would sell her own daughter to win this election.

She's not. She's not a liberal and she's not a progressive either.

The funny thing is that she has the largest super delegate lead that she will ever have.

I truly believe that Bernie has a good chance to win CA and NY. He will probably win OR and WA too.
 
The Clintons remind me of a traveling salesman who has two entirely different families in two different cities. I understand it but don't know how someone can have the energy or the ability to keep all the lies straight.

If a corporation is a "person" we as the public should be considered a person and file for a restraining order against the Clintons. Make them go away already, Bush family too.
 
Hillary is what the republicans are trying to run with rubio, a moderate, center-right corporatist.

If it's Hillary vs trump, expect all the big GOP donors to back Hillary.
 
It's an awesome story, Hillary paying herself with campaign funds.

Too bad it isn't true.

Hillary Clinton did not pay herself $250,000. This is just sloppy reporting from a right-wing rag.

Rather, these are "in-kind" contributions that Clinton made to her own campaign. Likely, they are campaign expenses that Clinton paid for out of personal funds that the campaign is not reimbursing her for.

The FEC handles in-kind contributions a bit weirdly. The in-kind contributions are reported as receipts, but there is no cash coming in. In order to balance the books of a campaign, they are reported as both a receipt (a contribution) and a disbursement (a payment)--that way it doesn't look like the campaign is sitting on a bunch of non-existent cash.

From the FEC website:

In order to avoid inflating/deflating the cash on hand amount, the amount of an in-kind contribution from an individual should be disclosed as a receipt on Line 11(a)(i) of the Detailed Summary Page (Contributions from Individuals/Persons) and a disbursement on Line 21(b) of the Detailed Summary Page(Other Federal Operating Expenditures)

The Free Beacon saw the disbursements to Hillary Clinton and assumed that she was paying herself. What they missed is that there are matching receipts for each of these entries from Clinton.

the story was amended, it was misunderstood. She did not pay herself.

No but it is pretty slick, get paid by Wall Street company for speech, take money and donate it to your own campaign. Freeing Wall Street company to make an additional donation to campaign.

She's a lesser of two evils in the expected eventual matchup, but evil is an apt word. I'm kind of hoping she gets indicted (I don't think she will) because that may be the only shot to get someone I actually want to vote for to be an option.
