May 2016: Hillary Takes More Wall St Donations Than ALL OTHER Candidates COMBINED...

Hard To Tell Your OWNERS To 'Cut It Out'...

Analysis finds some former GOP donors have turned to the Democratic front-runner

from the link:

Hillary Clinton is consolidating her support among Wall Street donors and other businesses ahead of a general-election battle with Donald Trump, winning more campaign contributions from financial-services executives in the most recent fundraising period than all other candidates combined.

The Democratic front-runner has raised $4.2 million in total from Wall Street, $344,000 of which was contributed in March alone. According to a Wall Street Journal analysis of fundraising data provided by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, the former secretary of state received 53% of the donations from Wall Street in March, up from 32% last year and 33% in January through February, as the nominating contests began.

... him more threatening to police and white society as a whole than some of the friends he brings home or goes to parties with.

That scares the shit out of me a lot more than what some fat cat is going to do with all their money...

Having to explain to my beautiful dark skinned daughter why there's so many non dark skinned people on TV and having white folk like hair isn't attractive to all men,... even white men.

These are subjects Sanders decided were "not important" when he interviewed in 2014 about why dems were losing "working class" (whatever the fuck that means) whites.

Sanders dismissal of other peoples boogyman and concentrating on the privileged ones is one of the reason he gets stommped in diverse environments.

He has been asked several times to provide examples that prove the money she has received have influenced her and he has yet to come up with one.

Sanders has answered the claim that the Bankruptcy Bill is just one case where $ching$ching$ching influenced her; msm just chooses to ignore it. I know I'm wasting my time with you, an obvious Brock inspired million dollar Clinton camp paid troll, but not willing to let your crap stand unanswered.

On the one hand, Bernie wants to destroy the banking system (Wall Street view) and the other choice other than Hillary is Trump...Wall Street knows Trump...he fleeced lots of people in New York...of course, they will donate to the only sane candidate. And as one, who dated Wall Street bankers and has a brother who works on Wall Street...I would like to say a fair number of them are Democrats.

I heard his interview with Rachel Maddow about breaking up the banks...chaos would ensue...jobs would be lost and the financial capitol of the world would move to China. It would certainly damage our banking system which we depend on for pensions, mortgages etc. We need better regulation no doubt. We also need to enact some form of national bucket law...but this attacking of the banking system by Bernie should end. What good does he do? Elizabeth Warren did way more than Bernie ever did.

Bernie's $200 M fundraising is impressive; now, throw that out (he's spent most of it) and raise more that $1 BILLION for him (what Obama spent in 2012, despite having no Primary opposition and all the power of incumbency). And none of this dribbling in over a year; he'll need it in about six weeks after the convention.

Can we get your check tomorrow?

Don't fool yourselves about Trump funding his own campaign...he will get every dime back from the RNC at the end.
This is what self-funding means when you "loan" your campaign money.

But Hillary will need every dime she can get to help herself and other Democrats running.
