Donald Trump challenges Hillary Clinton to spend her own money on campaign
The Washington Times ^ | October 9, 2016 | Stephen Dinan

Donald Trump challenged Hillary Clinton to spend her own money on her presidential campaign Sunday, saying it would give her some independence from her donors. Mrs. Clinton, in the second presidential debate, had blasted the 2010 Citizens United court decision that opened the door to groups spending unlimited money to get a message out in elections, and said she would appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn that ruling.

Mr. Trump countered that Mrs. Clinton is more beholden to those big-money interests than he is, saying he’s going to spend upwards of $100 million of his own money on his campaign. He challenged her to pony up as much as $30 million of the $250 million she and her husband have earned since they left the White House in 2001.

“Why aren’t you putting some money in?” he demanded.

This might explain it:

A father told his 3 children when he sent them to college:

“I feel it’s my duty to provide you with the best possible education, and you do not owe me anything for that. However, I want you to appreciate it. As a token, please each put $1,000 into my coffin when I die.”

And so it happened, one became a doctor, one a lawyer, and one a financial planner, each very financially successful. When their father’s time had come, and they saw their father in the coffin, they remembered his wish.

First, it was the doctor who put 10 newly printed, crisp $100 bills onto the chest of the deceased.

Then, came the financial planner, who also placed $1,000 in cash there.

Finally, it was the heartbroken lawyer’s turn. She dipped into her purse, took out her checkbook, wrote a check for $3,000, placed it into her father’s coffin, and took the $2,000 cash.

Is she now running for President of the United States?

Be sure to vote

I've driven by the house in Chappaqua that they bought just before he left office.I can guarantee you that it's not a house...or a neighborhood...where the "dead broke" tend to settle.

Her campaign isn’t even worth her own money. Or in other words she cant put her money where her mouth is.

Is there much left over after the booze, the pills and the escort services?

It strikes me that this election is really about the hidden class system in America today. Ironically, Trump was in the undeclared aristocracy until he went into politics. It takes that much money to run, so any of us would stand no chance of entering the race.

As a Canadian, I am used to the remnants of the old class system, we still nominally recognize the British class system by remaining in the British commonwealth. The royal family are somehow not just “ordinary folk” but at least they are trained and coached in the art of aristocracy.

Our North American aristocracy (here, Canada is just like America really) are self-defined, globalist-elitist people from very ordinary backgrounds, who have banded together to lord it over the common people, whom they regard as cannon fodder and slaves. They keep the sheeple in line with boondoggle schemes like “green energy” and various human rights schemes which are basically free-stuff-for-no-work inducements to vote for them, and keep them in the aristocratic lifestyle they believe is their due.

Clintons could never get enough from the basic template so they set up their Foundation to vacuum up more money. They live like the British aristocracy and wave from limousines at their adoring sycophants. And they are basically just tricked up trailer park trash, it shows in so many ways.

Trump was in with this crowd until about two years ago; but he has somewhat more of the common touch about him. His entry into politics has blasted apart all the pretence and hypocrisy of the progressive globalist mind set, and they don’t like it, they are used to having compliance from the likes of Romney-Ryan and McCain. Sarah Palin was a similar outsider but she wasn’t able to generate as big an attack on the castle as Donald Trump has done.

Those four women that Trump brought to the party spoke volumes. Here are four very average American women that the Clinton machine tore up and shredded, like unwanted documents. The European aristocrats always claimed the “droit de seigneur” and so does Lord Jefferson-Clinton. His wife looks the other way, like the ladies of the medieval castle. She had her own diversions.

All these people supporting her, do they realize if she wins their health insurance will be gone? That pretty much only the rich will be able to afford it? It’s not like millionaire sc*mbags like Robert De Niro have to worry about that, right?

Yeah, that would never fly, even if actually she earned honest money. He has deeper pockets and she had deeper slush funds.
