I think most of us literally can't afford Hillary. Maybe if we all pool our retirement funds...

1. Well, at least she won't be "dead broke" any more.

9. Nothing like a good insult...

...since she doesn't get money personally.

2. for the $20 I could afford, i probably get to see the ground she walked on.

or maybe see the air she breathed.

6. Only if you plan on worshiping it

3. Obama fundraises out here in teh Bay Area this way all time.

We've gotten used to the sight of his helicopter from SFO.

5. So it would be better if she was completely

out funded by the Koch-Republican?

Yes there is a better way, one she supports, but until that day, let's not bring a knife to a gunfight.

7. You do realize that every Presidential candidate, including Obama, has had these events

in the past? It's a way to raise money so they can afford the low or no cost events, TV, etc.

8. It's called fund-raising

It's a fact of life in today's process.

10. Can we trust you to slam Bernie if he ever has a $1,000 a head fundraiser?

because, if he doesn't, he'll be spending far more of his time fundraising (and less time campaigning)or he'll have far less financial resources than his opponents.

13. It's only bad when Hillary does it. So I've learned here on DU.

[NYC Liberal]

11. So now we're criticizing her for fundraising. Pathetic.

Let's ignore the free campaign events open to anyone.

Any candidate serious about running has fundraisers like these.

[Beacool]

12. Disingenuous post.

Presidential campaigns cost an obscene amount of money. All candidates, past and present, host these types of events if they want to remain competitive. There will be plenty of opportunities to see Hillary before the election next year, from free rallies to events that only cost between $20 and $50.

14. Many of us could afford it...

It's just not likely we will spend our money on that.

15. !

16. None of us can afford Bush.

Or Walker.
Or Santorum.
Or Perry.
Or Graham.
Or Cruz.
Or Paul.
Or Huckabee.
Or Fiorina.
Or any other passenger in the clown car.

17. I think you literally can't afford Elizabeth Warren...or Russ Feingold...or Sherrod Brown

I've been to events for all of them in the past (Feingold was here last night). The asking price? $1,000 and up. How can you support sell-outs like that. Don't they know it's possible to raise all the money you need in $10 chunks, without having spend time away from campaigning?

[bigwillq]

18. I wouldn't pay much to see any of these folks.

They're not worth my money.
