Sometimes one Feels the Need to Step Away

For a Momentary ATM withdrawl

Sources close to Hillary Clinton's Beaumont fundraiser say it was one of her highest moneymakers

Exactly one year before the next U.S. president is inaugurated, the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination spent about 90 minutes in a high-end Beaumont home and collected hundreds of thousands of dollars from gushing supporters.

A photograph with Clinton cost attendees of the private fundraiser $2,700. It cost $1,000 to get in the door.

Close to 250 people attended the event, said former Congressman Nick Lampson, who works for the host and who knows the Clintons from their past campaign efforts in his behalf.

Her campaign took in more than $400,000 from the event, Lampson said.

Clinton arrived about 1:40 p.m. after a San Antonio fundraiser. She left the home at 3:15 for Burlington, Iowa, where the first-in-the-nation primary caucus will be held in 11 days.

1. Thanks....

for the information.

[Marty McGraw]

2. Believe me

My Pleasure. Transparency is almost Always a good thing. Although I wouldn't say HRC was hiding this but you definitely know Most the Media will sideline it to the back pages.

Thanks Daleanime for giving me the inquisiteveness to go hunt this down!

3. Wonder if this is payment for past favors or something expected in the future.

I guess being Secretary of State had its benefits.

7. That's why people

in general can't relate. It's all hidden from us. She's still running a 90's type campaign in the age of the internet. (TH had said this the other day - and holds true)

a nice cozy relationship of special individuals capable of staging all the closed-to-the-plebe fund raising speeches. Aside from what is mentioned to the press of what they are all about, we are all left to speculate what really is said (negotiated) behind closed doors of these down to earth Estates.

16. tell the rich how much you hate the poor, the poor how much you hate the rich,

the Black how the White have it out for them, the White the same, the North, the South, North Side, South Side--it's a veritable panpipes made of dogwhistles

too bad we can compare notes nowadays

17. That's it

in a nutshell MisterP.

4. That's ALL she cares about! NINETY MINUTES at a bigwig fundraiser, 5 MINUTES for peon rally

Supporters. Pretty pathetic.

PEACE

BERNIE

9. she's been around

a distorted bubble now for way too long. soul capturing, corporate capturing industry and is really out of touch - sad

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. She's clueless to what's going on out here in the real world. n/t

[Marty McGraw]

14. Maybe not entirely clueless

but willfully neglect in her awareness to the sentiment nationally and choosing more to keep close to what she feels are safe harbors and raising her daughter to seek the same method. I don't think they realize how those safe harbors are so close to being blown away by the advancing hurricane.

15. Her and Bill knew what they wanted since collage days. After having tasted it they want it back, eom

5. Looks like she tapped out her Texas supporters.

Wonder how many states she has left?

Bernie has millions of supporters and very few are tapped out.

[Live and Learn]

6. Even with that money she won't be able to make an ad as good as Bernies.

Probably make a scary Bernie's a communist hippy dirty racist misogynistic union hating elitist ad with it.

[Marty McGraw]

8. How does she expect

the trust from the populace when all her influential dealings are held behind closed doors?

and foolish to even expect that.

[Live and Learn]

10. I don't think she thinks the majority of the populace counts at all. nt

12. what's interesting

There is the excitement with the Sanders bid that a lot of talented videographers & the computer saavy would donate free time with heart to produce pretty decent works. I would doubt that same spirit or motivation would be supporting HRC's brand.

13. I would bet you were right. nt
