A LOT more money is going in to campaigns since Bill was in office, and since The Citizens United decision by the SC so they can not be fairly compared imo.Clinton blasts Wall Street, but still draws millions in contributionsit's not really deluding them... she and other democrats over the decades have only received token amounts from them.... Wall Street's money on a 10 to 1 basis, in elections, goes to Republicans running.I don't know about that...she may take Soros money but what has she done as Senator or SOS? Have not seen or found in my search a quid pro quo, a tit for tat connection with Wall Street....whereas with most if not all of Republicans taking the majority of Wall Street's money, do show a tit for tat.
Clearly she is a neocon corporatist. Just like W and O
Having worked on Wall Street and GE and corporate America my whole career, one thing I can tell you is if she's taking their money, they are getting something. Your view that she's somehow deluding them then doing nothing for them is laughably naive. Oh, but she's going to nail them to the wall, right? They just don't realize it? They don't get the news like the rest of us? You're delusional. She's owned by corporate America
As far as a neo con.... nahhh, if the Clintons were Neocons, they would have taken the New American Century's letter seriously and done something in the 90's and if you read what the Hill said on the Senate floor during the Iraq resolution debate, she was ''right'' in her thinking, just wrong about believing the President of the USA, GWB, wouldn't lie to Congress and not follow thru with what he said he'd do before as a last resort, going to war.
You don't know what a neocon is. Hillary, Obama and W are all neocons
How long was Jebb Bush in the primary race? Like a nano second.... up until the point he dropped out, Jebb and PACS received something like $116 million from wall street and she and PACS may have barely reached 25 million without Soros, and when you add in the 45 million for Rubio and $40 million for Cruz and I believe $15 million for Carson and all the other presidential candidates from Wall street you can see who the Wall Street Party is....
And I am not saying Hillary is a Liberal, she is more of a centrist.... but no quid pro quo, that I could find with Wall Street.
The contributions helped Clinton reach a fundraising milestone: By the end of 2015, she had brought in more money from the financial sector during her four federal campaigns than her husband did during his quarter-century political career.
In all, donors from Wall Street and other financial services firms have given $44.1 million to support Hillary Clinton’s campaigns and allied super PACs, compared with $39.7 million in backing that former president Bill Clinton received from the industry, according to campaign finance records dating back to 1974 that have been compiled by The Post.
Nearly half of the financialsector donations made to support Hillary Clinton’s current presidential run have come from just two wealthy financiers: billionaire investor George Soros, who gave $7 million last year to the pro-Clinton super PAC Priorities USA Action, and hedge-fund manager S. Donald Sussman, who gave the group $2.5 million.
And here is a little glimpse down memory lane :
Clinton rakes in Wall Street cash amid tough talk
Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Merrill Lynch—gave about $290,000 to Clinton's campaign committee through June 30, according to a MapLight analysis of Federal Election Commission data. While it makes up less than 1 percent of the roughly $47 million raised by Clinton's committee this cycle, it follows a precedent set in her 2008 presidential campaign, when the firms' employees were among her biggest donors.
And this primary election is not the norm...there is nothing to compare it to...
