HRC just said

on Hardball that "the billionaires are running so many ads against me because they know what I would do to them." Have there been many, or any, negative ads by billionaires against HRC?

Haim Saban alone has donated over 2 million to her various SuperPacs. Not to mention ten mil to the Clinton Foundation.

17. Obama described her as "wicked smart"

"wicked" might be right but "smart"? No. I don't buy that.

Being a policy wonk doesn't mean you're "smart". Trying to pull stuff like this isn't going to fool many people. It's not smart because it can backfire - like some of the other disingenuous crap she spewed about Bernie recently.
