..the influence? I'm a Bernie supporter all the way, but am not against sitting down with our "enemies" for diplomacy——because it can avert war.

Was this a private fund raising event or from her days as SOS? If the latter, it has a different meaning, doesn't it?

Both Bernie and Obama would always want there be "talk" before the alternative.

I can't picture Bernie enjoying their company like that. And the Saudi's are the worst of the worst. How can anyone that cares for women's or anybody's rights have friends like that?

But ambassadors etc have that kind of sit-down all the time.

Just don't want to undercut Bernie's preference for diplomacy by taking that photo out of context.

The comment below changes my mind though.

This was before she was SoS, and the period between that and announcing her candidacy.

Ha! You just made me consider that it took her so long to declare because once that happened, they probably stopped taking foreign dough like that.

But, for now, I have to say that I LOVE what Bernie says about Jordan.

Small clue: my son isn't royalty, but if he cared, he would be accepted into the upper echelon.

That said, he doesn't care. Neither do I.

And we don't give a flying fuck about the Saudis.

Making sure she takes care of the donors, especially her military industrial complex buddies...

And speaking of the Elite donors, let's see who's now the most attractive to receive contributions in the Presidential Race....

For the Republicans, we have Jebie, Cruz & Rubio who have been disappointing in the polls, while Trump is using his own money.
Well, not much of an investment there.

So is there anybody left to bribe?

I wonder if we can find someone of the Democratic side.
Oh, No Problem!
