Tired Dem Donors Feel Like Their Money Got Burned

Democratic donors stung by Hillary Clinton’s upset loss in the presidential race feel like they just set their money on fire.

The sore feelings are a huge problem for the Democratic National Committee (DNC), which is trying to rebuild its image and reinvigorate a defeated party in time for challenging midterm elections in 2018.

It’s also a worry for top liberal activists as they prepare for war with President-elect Donald Trump and a GOP Congress that is hell-bent on rolling back President Obama’s accomplishments.

Many Democratic donors still feel burned by the party’s 2016 election losses and what they see as dysfunction in the DNC, which will elect a new leader in February.

Adding insult to the injury: The names of many donors were released in the WikiLeaks hack of Democratic emails, believed to have come at the hands of Russian intelligence. It was a mortifying development that has rattled some of the party’s big-money men and women.

The leaks were not from the Russians. We know some leaks came from the DNC itself. One who leaked was murdered. Also, our own Intelligence agencies most likely participated in the “counter-coup.”

Well they will have the satisfaction of knowing that the clinton crime family will be spending it to live like royalty. Maybe Bubba will send you a postcard from the Island of Underage Girls.

Not only was some of the money burned but it was also used as confetti and toilet paper.

They should be mad that they threw their money behind a corrupt and lazy candidate.

If they’re not mad enough yet, they should give more to Jill Stein.

Most of it did not get burned. It just got put in the Clintons’ pockets...

They deserve every bit of angst, frustration and turmoil their filthy lucre furtively given to the DNC and Hillary for “consideration in kind” they get. Screw them.

“..............and a GOP Congress that is hell-bent on rolling back President Obama’s accomplishments.”

The word “accomplishments” in the same sentence as “Obama”!?

And to add some icing to the cake, we have Jill Stein sticking the knife a little deeper and turning it.

Reading the story, and it’s incredible that a pervert like David Brock, ex lover of pedophile and Comet Ping Pong pizza pervert “ James Alefantis” is trying to become a DNC rally monkey to entice more rich folk to fund a new center for “ ethics”
