HILLARY - NOT A GOOD POLITICIAN - SPEECH MAKER??

She should also add; Not good at telling the truth.

As Bernie said; Americans aren't stupid! And, as often as Hillary distorts the facts it's not surprising they don't trust Hillary or find her believable; Hillary Clinton Least Honest And Trustworthy Of All Presidential Candidates

Take, for example Hillary's claim that she is not a good orator and really has to work hard trying to keep up with folks Like Obama, etc. because it just doesn't come natural.

If that's true then how does Hillary square that with her record breaking piles of cash she collects for making speeches? Read more; Hillary Clinton is going to really regret saying these 4 words about Goldman Sachs - The Washington Post

WERE YOU (OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW) INVITED?

 Your $33,400 ($66,800.per couple) will get you in the door and a "picture with Hillary"                          
                                         


Actor George Clooney, a major fundraiser for Hillary Clinton, said that it’s “ridiculous” and “obscene” how much money goes into presidential campaigns.

In an excerpt of an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” taped for Sunday, Clooney was asked if he thought the price of admission to attend a fundraiser the actor is hosting is an “obscene amount of money.”

“Yes, I think it’s an obscene amount of money,” Clooney responded. “You know we had some protesters last night when we pulled up in San Francisco – and they’re right to protest, they’re absolutely right, it’s an obscene amount of money. The Sanders campaign, when they talk about it, is absolutely right, it’s ridiculous that we should have this kind of money in politics, I agree.”

The actor and his wife Amal hosted a fundraiser on Friday night for the former secretary of State, charging couples $353,400 to sit at a table with Clinton and the Clooneys. They are throwing another high-dollar fundraising event Saturday night.

BERNIES $27.00 DONORS NOT INVITED TO HILLARY'S $15 MILLION GALA

   Hillary has no problem spending the morning in a downtown New York soup kitchen and the evening bumping elbows with millionaires and billionaires at $355,000 a plate food orgy. It's all in a days work and sadly the reason why our political system is totally corrupted and dysfunctional.

                      

On the same weekend as Coachella, this year the top ticket is $353,400 for a couple of seats at the head table with HRC and the Clooneys at the SF shindig this evening at the home of Uber investor and big Obama bundler Shervin Pishevar. 


The Hollywood-heavy Hillary Victory Fund event on April 16 at the Money Monster star’s Studio City pad has a top price tag of $100,000 per couple.

Paying out that amount will get deep-pocketed supporters — almost all of whom have shelled out for Clinton on her previous eight visits to the Hollywood ATM — co-host status and a “host reception with the Clooneys and Hillary and preferred dinner seating. For the cheapskates, $33,400-per-person will get you “a photo with Hillary.”



Bernie Sanders may have jetted out of NYC to give a speech at the Vatican today after last night’s Democratic debate, but the Vermont senator likely won’t see the benefits in this life or the next that rival Hillary Clinton is receiving in California this weekend – at least not in terms of hard cash. 

With Clinton out West on Friday, two sold-out fundraisers hosted by George Clooney and Amal Clooney for the former Secretary of State this weekend will pull in at least $15 million altogether, I’ve learned.

“A lot of muscle went into making sure these were out-of-the-ballpark successes,” says an insider, who notes that invites went out to all the studio chiefs and top industry Dem donors. 

The actual guest list for the April 16 fundraiser — co-hosted byJeffrey Katzenberg and wife Marilyn, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, and Haim Saban and wife Cheryl — is being treated like a state secret by the already usually very tight-lipped Clinton campaign and organizers.

Still, bundled together, the Clooney events, attended by roughly 100 people each, will easily surpass the $8 million the candidate raised in mid-December at a Hillary Victory Fund event where Sting performed at Manhattan’s St. Regis hotel.  

If those numbers seem high under what is allowed under primary rules, they are – but they also are perfectly within what’s permitted. 

Like the Sting event and the Radio City Music Hall event of March 2, this weekend’s two Hillary Victory Fund affairs take only the allowed $2,700 per individual or $5,000 a couple directly for the Hillary for America ledger. The rest of the dough is divided up between the Democratic National Committee and state parties from Arkansas to Wyoming for the general election.

Contacted by Deadline, the Clinton campaign had no comment on the amount the SRO Clooney events raised. 

Seeking to grab an advantage in the April 19 NY Primary and having raised most of his money through much heralded small individual online donations of around $27, Sanders and his surrogates have had lots of comments as they’ve critically called out the Clinton/Clooney fundraisers in recent weeks. 

The Sanders campaign today sent out an email to supporters calling the price tag for seats at the SF event “an obscene amount of money.” The email encouraged their people power supporters to help raise $353,000 before midnight in “$50 increments.” Also, the Sanders campaign is running a TV ad in SF and LA asking people to contribute $27 – which is the average donation the campaign has received:

POLI-SPEAK - HILLARY'S FAVORITE LANGUAGE

                   


New poll data show Bernie's numbers are also sliding, although he remains 16 points ahead of the party favorite VIDEO

Hillary Clinton may be the Democratic frontrunner, but her appeal is waning. According to the HuffPost Pollster average, 55 percent of the electorate now views Clinton unfavorably—and 40.2 percent of people view her favorably, according to the same average.


“[The numbers] are pretty bad,” said Democratic strategist Brad Bannon. “The No. 1 reason that her favorability is so bad is that you have large numbers of Americans who say they don’t trust her. I could make it sound more complicated than that, but that’s really what it is. Voters see her as the ultimate politician, who will do or say anything to get elected.”

Historically, 62 percent of voters saw Barack Obama as favorable at this point in the 2008 election.

Electability- Hillary vs Bernie for New Yorkers

                           

WHO'S SIDE IS HILLARY ON? VERIZON OR THE WORKERS?

Verizon paid Hillary $225,000 for speech and poured money into Clinton Foundation. Executives give to her campaign

Hillary Clinton rakes in Verizon cash while Bernie Sanders supports company’s striking workers  

According to a recent report by CNN, Hillary Clinton was paid more than $21 million for making speeches to private concerns from April 2013 to March 2015, and thus a mere one month prior to her formal announcement as a candidate for president in April 2015.

Of the $21 million, she was paid $1.8 million by Goldman Sachs, UBS, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America/Merrill Lynch, and Deutsche Bank.

Her husband, Bill Clinton, according to CNN, was paid at least $5.9 million for at least 39 speeches to big banks, including Goldman Sachs and UBS.

This adds up to Clinton-household income of at least $7.7 million from “big banks” prior to Hillary Clinton’s 2015 announcement as a candidate for president.

Furthermore, according to an online list of all Hillary Clinton speeches from 2013 to 2015, she was also paid $225,000 and upwards per speech by;


 Fidelity Investments, 

Verizon Communications, 

Sanford C. Bernstein, 

Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, 

CME Group, 

Boston Consulting Group, 

SAP Global Marketing, 

Accenture, 

General Electric, 

Xerox Corporation, 

Cisco, 

Qualcomm, 

Drug Chemical and Associated Technologies, 

California Medical Association, 

Healthcare Information and Management Association, 

Biotechnology Industry Organization, 

Pharmaceutical Care Management Association, 

National Association of Chain Drug Stores, 

and many others.

It is difficult to imagine no breach of ethics when a high-profile, presumptive candidate for president is paid more than $21 million in less than two years for almost no work from corporate, healthcare, investment banks and other concerns, only to announce one month after the speaking tour has ended that she is indeed running for president.

It is very likely, given the tight chronology, that she was planning to run for president while taking the money for the speeches, contrary to her denial on that count to Anderson Cooper during a recent town hall event.

Clinton has claimed no conflicts of interest in accepting speaking fees, for example, from Wall Street investment banks. However, on February 8, CNN reported that “Hillary Clinton won’t rule out appointing a Wall Street veteran to the top economic post in the White House.” CNN also noted that “when Clinton was pressed [on NBC’s Meet the Press] on whether she would appoint someone from Wall Street to be her Treasury Secretary, she refused to say no.”

Doesn’t this at least look like a pay-to-play arrangement orchestrated by a leading candidate for the presidency? 

With more of the same likely to follow if she’s elected?

CLOONEY AGREES; HILLARY'S FUND RAISE IS OBSCENE

                               




The day after co-hosting the first of two sold-out fundraising dinners expected to put $15 million in the coffers of Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, actor George Clooney tells NBC’s Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd “it is an obscene amount of money.”

“The Sanders campaign, when they talk about it, is absolutely right,” Clooney says in an interview taped today and airing tomorrow morning on the Sunday beltway show. “It’s ridiculous that we should have this kind of money in politics. I agree completely.”

Clooney and wife Amal hosted first dinner in San Francisco Friday, with the second planned for tonight in the couple’s L.A. home.

“Yes. I think it’s an obscene amount of money,” Clooney tells Todd. “I think that, you know, we had some protesters last night when we pulled up in San Francisco and they’re right to protest. They’re absolutely right. It is an obscene amount of money.”
