Why is Hillary the only candidate to take time off for fund raising

[grantcart]

during the critical time before super Tuesday in Florida?

Is it

a) She is so short of money that she has to get money now so she can compete in Super Tuesday

b) It is a subterfuge to undermine the no campaign in Florida pledge?


or is it something I missed?

[MonkeyFunk]

1. Who says she's the only one to do so?

Or are you just making shit up.

Every candidate spends part of almost every day fundraising.

[grantcart]

2. but none of them are going to a state where there is

no campaigning and only fund raising are they?

[MonkeyFunk]

5. you said she's the only candidate to take time off

to raise funds.

I'm asking for any evidence of that asinine assertion.

[grantcart]

9. If she is going to Florida she is not going to campaign

there per the pledge. So while she is there she will have to take time off of the campaign and limit herself to only doing fund raising activities


unless she is going to break the pledge or


raising money is a not so subtle way to try and undermine the pledge


there make it simple enough for you?

[MonkeyFunk]

14. No

because you haven't demonstrated the premise of your thread: that she's the ONLY candidate to take time off to fundraise.

Until you can demonstrate that, the rest is just bullshit.

3. It's only bad when HRC does it.

duh.

[grantcart]

4. does what run out of money or break the pledge?

[maddiejoan]

6. Do I beat my wife or carry my lunch?

That's about what I think of your question.

Obama would be praised for forward thinking and smart campaigning.

How are his TV ads doing anyways?

[MonkeyFunk]

7. There was no pledge not to raise funds in Florida

don't be daft.

[grantcart]

8. I agree so you think she is in Florida because she is

so short of funds that she has to go there rather than raising money in other places where she could campaign at the same time?

[MonkeyFunk]

10. Are you daft?

She's got tons of money

I said above that ALL candidates raise money almost every day.

You haven't even proved your asinine assertion in the OP that she's the only candidate to take time off to raise funds. So prove your stupid premise, or stop going down this ridiculous line of argument.

12. This is from the Clinton campaign

quote

Let us be very clear. Senator Clinton signed a pledge that she would not campaign in any state that violates the DNC approved calendar. Therefore, we did not campaign in Michigan, nor will we campaign in Florida in violation of the pledge. We have two small scheduled fundraisers in South Florida on January 27, as explicitly permitted by the pledge, but we will not hold any open public campaign events.

unquote


so why is she going to a place where she will not be able to campaign?

[MonkeyFunk]

15. She's going there to raise funds

I'm thinking perhaps you ARE daft.

Now demonstrate that she's the only candidate to take time off to raise funds.

11. True - Obama has been in Florida a couple of times over last 2 weeks for "fund-raisers"

[grantcart]

13. According to this schedule the last time

Barack was there was Sept 9th what is the link to your latest better information?

16. Here's an article from Dec. 10th

saying his wife was coming to Sarasota for a fundraiser, and the articles says Obama himself was in Sarasota one month earlier.

18. Last week the Obama site had his events list - check it out

17. Since she is an American citizen she can do what she wants.

Is the other candidate telling HER what to do now. By the way how come conyers took time off to campaign for Obama in Michigan. He asked people not to vote for Hillary and to vote in Obama's favor UNCOMMITTED.
