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

Posted on 10/09/2016 9:24:30 PM PDT by gunsequalfreedom

Mr. Trump said that Mrs. Clinton is beholden to 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. Mrs. Clinton did not respond to the challenge.

Very effective. Paints her as very rich. Calls into question how she got that much money.

Yes, it was a surprise comment that I am sure Hitlery in all her preparation did not expect.....which is why she could not answer his challenge.

Good for you, Mr. Trump!

There’s no way she’s going to spend her own money. She’s a DemocRAT. They ALWAYS spend OTHER PEOPLES MONEY. Besides, she has a lot of billionaire “sugar daddys” she can get money from. A regular Silver Spoon politician.

He should have added: "At least spent the money I've given to you!"

She just sat there speechless, and with a look of bewilderment on her stupid face. It was like she was thinking, “why would I spend my money, when I spend the millions funneled to me by Saudi Arabia and George Soros?”

I liked it how Trump worked in her connection to George Soros 2 or 3 times. Since he made a point of that, you can bet a lot of people will google Soros, because most people probably never heard of him before tonight. I don’t hear CNN worked up about him hanging Soros around her neck, I wonder why?

Chelsea is thinking “Oh no, that’s MY children’s inheritance money”

Bill is thinking: “Oh no, that’s MY bimbo money!”

That was an excellent jab by Trump. It was awesome. However Hillary ignored it like it was an off-the-wall comment by a low-level staffer. She completely ignored it and pivoted to guns. Go figure.

Couldn’t go as far as comparing it to a gorgeous woman but that’s always been in a class by itself :)

#10 Hillary stepped right into it with her gun control. Gun show loophole my ass.

No such thing. Anyone that knows the issue knows she means gun control. The hundred million new gun owners won’t like her answer.

I’m thinking “why are they so cheap? They are both going to be dead soon and Chelsea already has a financial crook for a husband, so she’s set!”

Trump appeared more prepared for this debate. When he pulled this out I first thought he pulled it out of his butt as I've never seen talk of this before.

I guess it's true then she has spent ZERO on her own campaign.

Trump’s challenge to Hillary was all about bringing attention to how wealthy they got while in power or near it. It was all about her corruption. Nobody gives a damn if she spends a dime on her campaign. They do, however, care if she got rich by selling influence.
