Ron Burkle raised $10 million for the Clintons. Now, he has almost nothing to do with them.

Amazing how so many who get involved with the Clintons end up as jilted lovers . . .

He’s trying to sell his hockey team, which is having a rotten season. He’s going to keep his head down till that deal gets done.

[Arm_Bears]

He should be hounded just like the Koch brothers.

Maybe even identified as an accessory after the fact re intimidation of BJ’s victims.

"The festering weirdness between the California billionaire and the Clintons might have drifted out of sight but for Burkle's decision to start raising campaign funds for a candidate other than Hillary Clinton. He's co-hosting a fundraiser this month for Republican John Kasich at Soho House in West Hollywood."

See ? He's fundraising for Kay Sick. It's not like he abandoned the left.

[SMARTY]

But ..........the Clinton’s GOT their $10,000,000!!

[Awgie]

Here is proof positive how the uni-party is controlled by the donor class. This Hollywood billionaire financier switches from Clinton to Kasich.

One has to ask, what do Kasich and Clinton have in common, that would make them equally worthy and eligible for the millions Mr Fat Cat raises for them?

The answer, Both Clintons and Kasich have made it clear that given the money, they will perform in a way consistent with the donors wishes.

This provides the single most powerful lesson for we, “the little people” from this election cycle. The donor class are the puppet masters, the candidates are their marionettes, we are the dupes.

Donald Trump speaks and acts the way he does, because he is not being manipulated by a donor class. He has thrown back the curtain on the entire staged production and naturally all of those who have rehearsed so long, and invested so much, are mortified at the prospect of their theatrics being revealed.

Perhaps Burkle has enough sense to stay away from, convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein's friends.

Washington Examiner:

According to the flight logbook obtained and first reported by Gawker.com, Clinton took more than a dozen trips aboard the private jet of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and was at least on one occasion accompanied by "4 secret service." The logbooks also show Clinton flew alongside a woman who prosecutors believe procured underage girls to service Epstein and others.

Or wind up dead.

[Paine in the Neck]

"Jeb" Kasich - for when you really, really want a RINO but just can't take anther Bush.

[sport]

Not amazing at all. The Clintons have no friends at all. They only have people they use to one degree or another. When their usefulness to them is over, they are discarded. usually permanently, a/l/a, Ambassador Stevens. This man is very fortunate that he is still breathing on his own.

N-i-c-e deconstruction.

[GOPJ]

Are Ron Burkle and other Hollywood liberal elites funneling money to John Kasich so he'll rough up Donald Trump.

I'm sure Ron Burkle KNOWS Kasich can't win... so Burkle’s BIG gift to Hillary is to pay a Republican to damage the front runner and the choice of the people - Donald Trump.

John Kasich might be the jerk of the century..

A pox on John Kasich... if this is what's happening he needs to be driven OUT of the party.

[Joe Boucher]

Or dead.
