This would be good in the Video forum, if it's not there already.

She answers some of the lies, she tells who he is, she talks about life in NY, and what's important. With intelligence, charm, and flair. She's dead serious, too.

"If Bernie doesn't win, net neutrality is going to be a very big issue because they don't like what we're doing here..."

I honestly don't know how people trust her to think she will overturn Citizens United while taking money from them for her campaign. Sorry. Not I.

It's the PACs, or did you forget that? 40+ million from nothing but ordinary people like me is fucking spectacular! Why do so many people have blinders on to what Bernie is accomplishing?

He was hoping to raise 50 million total. Now, he nearly did that in one month.

Great job everyone. We are proving them wrong. You don't have to sell out.

She gets millions from the rich & corporations. She's worth millions herself. The common man/woman's paltry donation would pay for 2 seconds aboard her private jet. For them to donate to her would be a total waste of money they need to make their health insurance deductibles.

I wonder why the rich & corporations donate to her when she's capable of funding her own campaign.

Oh yeah... they're buying influence.

This helps to put her meltdown on the Greenpeace protestor in perspective. Well, that and Bernie's big weekend, as well as her pending interview with Director Comey. But like I said, not a good week.

(CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama has asked top contributors to help his former rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Hillary Clinton, retire her debt, an Obama campaign source said Tuesday.

Obama did not direct members of his National Finance Committee to contribute to Clinton's campaign, the source said, but asked them to do so if they were so inclined.

Clinton suspended her campaign and endorsed Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination this month.

She has amassed a campaign debt of about $22 million, but about $12 million of that is money the New York senator loaned to the campaign herself.
