$2,700 for children to ask hillary a question

[MovingTarget]

While donald is visiting a black church, visiting mexico, visiting flood victims, shillary is charging for children to ask her a question.

Could she sink any lower?

Oh, thats rich. I think that if you actually tallied up how many times Hillary has attended a black church, versus how many times Donald has, you would be highly disappointed you made that claim. (Hint: Hillary is a CLINTON here... a family that has been known for their outreach to black churches) You are also comparing Trump's rather antagonistic visit to Mexico to Hillary's diplomatic experience with them as Secretary of State. No contest there. Finally, on the flood victim issue, the governor of Louisiana specifically requested that the candidates and current POTUS stay away for a while so as not to interfere with recovery efforts that were underway by tying up security resources.

All you have of substance in this post is a vaguely misogynistic pun* on the word "Shill" and her first name "Hillary". You, like Trump, are out of your depth, pun* intended.

*may not actually be a pun, but a play on words...

The media and America love a horse race. I was expecting Trump to pivot sooner from absurd to pallatable. The only reason Clinton is in the lead is because swing voters perceive Trump as dangerous. If he changes that perception, Clinton could be in trouble. For those of us who grew up in NY listening to Howard Stern, we know a different Trump...one that can be charming, assertive and I would go so far as to say oddly appealing.

Racism is a lazy way to frame Trump. Exploitative is a better word. I think the demographics that like Trump will find President Trump disappointing.

I don't find his calls for a wall with Mexico any more absurd then when Democrats call for amnesty. They are simply polar opposites of the same problem, pandering to different voting blocks.

Donald can't make that pivot. It's not really in him & there's too much of his sewage under the bridge.

He's irredeemable. Those who wish it were otherwise will be disappointed.

I didn't frame it as racism. He exploits White fear & bigotry of all sorts in a panoramic sort of way.

OP, I know, right? I also hate those tv shows with lots of telephones and C-list celebs selling coffee mugs for $100 and shirts for $250. Oh yeah, there's a charity back there or something.

CNN/ORC Clinton 45% Trump 37%
CNN poll of polls Clinton 42% Trump 37%
According to dailycaller, Clinton 42% Trump 40%
Breitbart has no poll that I can find, they only quote Reuters
Reuters says Clinton 39% Trump 40%

You got 1 out of 5 right. .

We need to see this as a positive for th, he DID get 1 right, so that's new.

Lot of mad people in here attacking trump for no reason, while hillary charges money to field questions from children.

As much as main stream media hates trump he is going to win.

hillary can keep on charging children for questions and donald can run the nation

I'm just glad Republicans never do anything shady to raise funds for their campaigns.

right, no reason, he's a swell guy, a philanthropist through and through. Any slight on him is completely and totally unwarranted.

what the actual f$ck are you medicating yourself with to make that statement the truth?

Let me clean this up a bit...

Lots of sad people in here supporting Trump for no reason, while Hillary holds fundraising events and runs a traditional campaign like a professional.

As much as main stream media continues to give credence and free airtime to Trump, he is going to lose.

Trump can keep on with his hateful real-world version of The Apprentice and Hillary can run the nation.

Merely reiterating the same talking points won't make them true in the real world. Context matters. Details matter. This whole line of attack is nothing but FUD.

Your delusions aside, what's sad is that you don't seem to realize that if he DID win his policies (insofar as he has them) would be a disaster for people such as yourself. Huge tax cuts for rich people and you left holding the bag. Sad that you're so easily played.

The NY Times reporters are liars too! Money intended to help Haiti rebuild were shakendown by the Clintons. The Happy Hearts Fund was rebuffed by Bill Clinton, until they happened to come up with $500,000 to donate to the Clinton Foundation.

"Happy Hearts’ former executive director believes the transaction was a quid pro quo, which rerouted donations intended for a small charity with the concrete mission of rebuilding schools after natural disasters to a large foundation with a broader agenda and a budget 100 times bigger...

“The Clinton Foundation had rejected the Happy Hearts Fund invitation more than once, until there was a thinly veiled solicitation and then the offer of an honorarium,” said the former executive director, Sue Veres Royal, who held that position at the time of the gala and was dismissed a few weeks later amid conflicts over the gala and other issues...

Never publicly disclosed, the episode provides a window into the way the Clinton Foundation relies on the Clintons’ prestige to amass donors large and small, offering the prospect, as described in the foundation’s annual report, of lucrative global connections and participation in a worldwide mission to “unlock human potential” through “the power of creative collaboration.”"

The Clintons just warm your heart (no pun intended) on their generosity of helping out charities.

Curse those Clintons and their dastardly attempts to provide health care to AIDS patients!

The Clintons have done more in a single day to help the world's poor than Trump has in his entire life.

The times was careful in how they related the story-

Ms. Nemcova then met with officers at the Clinton Foundation, Ms. Veres Royal said. Afterward, she said, “Petra called me and said we have to include an honorarium for him — that they don’t look at these things unless money is offered, and it has to be $500,000.”

That's a second hand account from a dismissed employee, but do go on...

That they even carried the story was a shocker.

The fact that you believe innuendo to be fact isn't a shocker at all.

Mad people not found. Well, you are it looks...

Haven't even seen anything I'd call an attack, you started that.

It is pretty much a standard fund raiser where they would have been donations to begin with.

I mostly see a confused OP.

News flash its a FUND RAISER and no one is forcing anyone.

So when is hillary going to do a press conference?

Or does the press need to pay to ask a question?

 

[MongGrel]

She will be doing three debates soon, it Trump doesn't back out after the first one ...

Apparently the fund raiser thing hasn't sunk into you head yet.

I was wondering when this would show up. Hillary has done plenty of interviews with a plethora of reporters from traditional news outlets. What you want is essentially an open-mic night for the Brietbarts and Drudges to get their zingers in. Press conferences are useless overall. However, I'll bite here...what question do you think would be answered in a press conference that hasn't already been asked and answered already?

Why should the American people entrust you with being the leader of the free world when you demonstrated an inabilty to comply with or understand one of the most basic and administrative functions of government

What safeguards will you put in place to ensure FOIA transparency during your administration

What lessons did you learn from the FBI investigation and how will you apply them moving forward

You still do not seem to understand the basic functions of government. I'm pretty sure the former Secretary of State understands it a lot more than you do, but keep on blundering on.

There is no requirement for even a POTUS to hold press conferences, it has always been at their option to begin with. Some have only done State of the Union Address pretty much only in the past.

Most of the time it is handled by staffers on a daily basis.

And even when you receive a viable answer you ignore it and and ask the same question repeatedly.

There is no compliance involved.

So now you are trying to derail your own thread by ranting about press conferences. You are a piece of work sir.

 

[mpo]

$2,700 to ask a question? That is the maximum amount an individual can give a presidential candidate during an election cycle (Any higher amounts have to spread among PAC, R/DNC, etc.) Obviously it is a gimmick.

For a lot of fundraisers, the $2,700 will get you in the door, a plate of rubber chicken, and a 20 minute stump speech. You'll have to pony up another $10,000 if you want to get your picture with the candidate.

Others have a lot higher cost of entry.
