Brace yourselves, America. The Clintons are paranoid---Hillary's "dead broke" comment to ABC's Diane Sawyer is haunting her candidacy. The Clintons lay awake nights, trying to dream up angles to make voters forget her "dead broke" bomb.
Hillary's desperate to reinvent herself---even resorting to picking on the Redskins franchise last week.
Where she'll strike next is anybody's guess.
Maybe Hillary Bill and Chelsea will stand in a bread line (/cackle)---to reinforce the "dead-broke" image?
Even more problematic for the opportunistic Clintons is that Boobamba's serial incompetence is imperiling Hillary's ambitions. Running in the toxic fallout of a two-term blundering black president is a Sisyphian challenge.

<><> Chelsea's paid-for $10 million uber-condo.
2016 Hillary was relying on the "income equality" bugaboo to hoist herself into office......as good a definition of "white privilege" as any. The Clintons strategy is to label others as "different" while presenting themselves as "normal." The Clinton "normal" is couple billion dollars laying around without having a real job. The Never-Enough Clintons had planned to run a populist campaign, critical of the Wall Street types”....that's after the world was informed that speaker Hillary was pocketing $200,000 a throw from Goldman Sachs.....and other corporate giants.
The Clintons went from "dead broke" to multi-billionaires in an astonishing short period of time----without holding jobs The greedy, mega-wealthy Clintons have money pouring in from everywhere without lifting a finger...said to be worth couple BILLION dollars. Never-enough Bill/Hillary look to cash in w/ another go-round in the White House. The Clintons owe bigtime......money is pouring into their three tax-exempt foundations......and these donors expect payback.
BACKSTORY When Billy, the Boy From Hope, burst upon the political scene as a presidential candidate....he duped the voters and coached his Arkansas Mafia friends to say, “Money doesn’t mean anything to Bill Clinton"........
Now we hear he got a hundred million dollars while his wife controlled the State Dept checkbook......monies that were meant for Haiti (the place where the Clintons spent their honeymoon). Plus hundreds of millions flowing into their tax-exempt foundations which the Clintons morphed into eleven separate fund-raising machines.
BETTER ADD THIS IN, TOO News reports say the State Department announced it has "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors..... a special “management alert” warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at State has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch.
Becoming president has a pretty good monetary return. That poor boy from Hope, Ark, made over $200,000,000.00 (that we know of) as a “public servant.”
=============================================
Lawyers Bill and Hillary have held no other jobs but “public service”---they didn't have a pot to *** in in Arkansas---didn't even own a home. But they are experts at gaming the "public service" system for themselves. The Clintons conniving has enriched them. They are now worth hundreds of millions of dollars.....and counting.
How did they make the money? In several ways.
(1) Bill's calculated moves w/ his presidential pen and official policies profited numerous cronies and entities.....who are now being hit up for donations to the three Clinton tax-exempt "foundations which they evolved into some 14 fund-raising mechanisms.....and to enrich Hillary.
(2) Bill's pardon pen was useful in pardoning diverse voting blocs which got Hillary elected to the US Senate as a prelude to her presidential ambitions.
(3) The Clintons game the system 24/7....
.....their only goal in politics is to control the money.
The Media lay awake at nights trying to dream up angles to Help Hillary. The latest wag the dog is to try to make Republicans obsess over Bill's infidelities to make Hillary look like a victim so Americans will have better feelings for her somehow.
What lousy con artists the Mainstream Media are these days.
Personal.wealth in the 2 billion range?
I think your figures are off.
More like a couple hundred million.
Hillary is going to go with what worked for her in the past.
She is going to play the aggrieved spouse, victimized by a philandering husband. She is going to gain the sympathy of women and encourage the notion that she is owed the Nomination as compensation for her suffering.
It makes no rational sense, but most voters are irrational, these days, particularly on the Democratic side.
Bubba will be more than happy to fulfill his role, of course...
What is the ONE, central, National, inspirational message that the Blond Benghazi Bombshell, aka Mrs. Bill Clinton, has been presenting to America during the last 12 months?
maybe they’ll show hillary driving her own car for once? or (gasp!) actually paying her restaurant tab herself
Dang, I wish I was “broke” like Hillary...I would never have to work again.
Two words:
Loral Space.
They LIVE out of that foundation. Every cent spent is a donated coin and they never show enough income to pay taxes. I’d not be surprised to see them get one of those tax rebates given to the poor who don’t make enough to pay taxes. Jus’ Sayin’.
“what difference does it make”/?
And Hillary also said in that interview how they had to piece together resources for houses and Chelsea’s education.
The “houses” are the mansion in Chappaqua and the mansion in Washington DC.
Chelsea went to Stanford. Which assuming the Clintons paid the bill, was expensive. However, it’s hard to listen to wealthy people stress about how expensive it is to send their child to a prestigious private university.
I wish you mean old Freepers would quit picking on the
World's Smartest Woman in her moment of weakness ...
Media dishonesty is at the root of everything that afflicts this country today. They ought to be number one on everyones sh*tlist and the very first target for reform.
No, I haven't a clue how to begin to address the problem either.
Bill and Hillary Clinton raised $2-3 billion in the two decades they’ve been prominent on the national stage, according to the WSJ.
The Journal tallied the Clintons’ speaking fees, fundraising for their foundation and the sums raised for Bill Clinton’s two presidential campaigns for the DNC while he was in office and for Hillary Clinton’s Senate and presidential campaigns.
Between $1.3-2 billion came from U.S. companies and industry sources, making up at least 75 percent of the sum — more than the 60 percent industry sources contributed to the two Bushes’ political operations.
The Journal reports that if Hillary Clinton runs for president in 2016, as expected, she could return such donors to the Democratic Party, a source of concern for Republican fundraisers as they gear up for what’s expected to be the most expensive presidential election in history.
Overall, the Clintons’ political operations raised $1.2 billion, their nonprofit drew between $750 million and $1.7 billion and they made about $100 million in speaking fees. --SNIP--
=================================================
The figures are what THE CLINTONS ALLOW us to know. DOES NOT include (1) amounts secreted in numbered offshore bank accounts,(2) investment holdings, (3) safe deposit box holdings, coins, gold, valuables, etc, (4) other holdings in real estate, businesses, etc.
There have been thousands of accusations of human rights abuse, and even reports of murder on the freight trains transporting undocumented migrants to the US border. The migrants have also reported train operators standard practice of extorting money from the passengers.
The trains used and involved in these accusations are publicly-traded companies, traded on NASDAQ, with "very influential stockholders", such as Clinton and Carlos Slim. Other stockholders include,T Rowe Price, Bank of America, and General Electric.
A real bummer is that these transportation companies are involved in the Narco trade, and in this report it makes it clear that the companies are aware of the abusive practices their train operators are engaging in.
The border swarm is all about human trafficking, narco trafficking, and government and corporate collusion.
