When I see reports like this I really wonder sometimes how any self-respecting Democrat can even consider supporting Hillary Clinton.
The Hill - Feb. 9, 2016
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign is holding fundraisers in Mexico on Wednesday, expanding its offshore money operation one day after the New Hampshire primary.
Two events hosted by the Clinton campaign treasurer Jose Villarreal will be held in Mexico City. Clinton herself will not be attending.
One of the co-hosts of the fundraising dinner is Wal-Mart lobbyist Ivan Zapien, who relocated to Mexico with the company in 2015. Clinton served on the board of Wal-Mart from 1986-1992.

We need to wake up & kick the repugs out. Get our party back. FDR will not have done all he did for US in vain.

(6,960 posts)If you're for Hillary, you must be just fine with Repuglican-lite.
Funny how for the Hillarians it so often comes down to money; this is how Clintonism has distorted a party that once championed laborers, working people, poor folks, etc.
So the answer is, if Hillarians get their way and completely take over the Democratic Party, then all we will have in office are Repuglicans and Repuglican-lite anyway.
