How cheap is Hillary Clinton’s campaign? This cheap.
Washington Post ^ | June 9, 2015 | By Anne Gearan

Posted on 06/09/2015 10:07:00 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

John Podesta -- counselor and enforcer to two presidents, longtime Democratic sage and now the chairman of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign -- stood in line on a Manhattan street corner the other day, waiting to board a bus.

Podesta was paying just $30 to travel to Washington aboard a Vamoose bus. And that's the reason the Clinton campaign has decreed that staffers must schlep on the bus.

There is plenty of eye-rolling among the staff, nonetheless. Campaign staffers are also using their personal cellphones for work to save a few bucks.

Clinton is running as a warrior for the middle class and trying to dispel the image of privilege acquired as first lady, senator and secretary of state. Clinton is flying commercial most of the time, albeit in first class, and she's been spotted on Amtrak.

Well, when you’re dead broke, you have to economize . . . . . .

“...she’s been spotted on Amtrak.”

Hillary is trying to see how the poor is living, but she think having her staff take a bus is the way to see how they live. Hillary is trying to be one of the common folks, but she couldn’t live like what the common folks live. She hates the middle class.

The hag can just go out and give a few more speeches to a bunch of frustrated old hags and come back $200,000 richer.

“It’s become solidarity to take it,” said Podesta, who agreed to let a Washington Post reporter and photographer accompany him on his subway-and-bus commute from New York to Washington last week.

Solidarity? Is that a "dog whistle" for her Communist friends?

Maybe Hillary could give one more 'speech' to Arabs.

A speech to Arabs who will pretend the millions they give her isn't 'connected' to her position... - we all know how altruistic and 'giving' Arabs are, right? Then Hillary could pass a little of the bribe money - oops, 'cash' around to the folks who work for her...

Nah, she's too cheap for that.. A money grubber like Hillary can never get enough for herself and can never be cheap enough with others...

Every dime counts when a staffer might 'misuse' it.

On the other hand it's funny watching her be so cheap she with everyone - but herself... Maybe some of these liberal butt kissers will get a clue... or not...

True Believers...

Though it does beg the question:
“How serious is her campaign really about winning?”

They’ve stated they will raise $2Billion bucks to win and they can’t pay for a simple phone bill?

Phone Bill? There’s a joke in there, somewhere...

The next thing you know she will be trying to pay the help with the Silver she stole out of the White House when her and Bill left.

Or she'll stiff them... didn't the old Clinton campaigns make a point of ‘buying’ things but not paying for them?Of course the New York Times didn't cover those stories... but they could be found by looking...
