Question Regarding HRC....$$$$
1. Last night, Hillary says she's NOT dropping out, asking people to go to hillaryclinton.com to donate.

2. She's planning on dropping out this week....Friday?

Was this just a ploy to recover some of her personal financial losses on this campaign? If that's the case, how could anyone ever trust her regarding anything?

Not trying to bash Hillary, but this seems quite shady.

Thoughts?

1. An e-mail that was sent to David Gregory's show...
...stated that Hillary's asking her supporters to go to her website and tell her what they thought was a ploy to get donations. Apparently you couldn't leave a message unless you donated.

Money is the reason she's not getting out yet IMHO.

2. If that's the case....
And I supported her, I'd be awfully upset if I donated last night.

3. I don't think a donation was necessary. After you leave a message
you are directed to a page where you can contribute, but there is nothing to state that a contribution is mandatory to leave a comment.

5. You may be right...
...I didn't go to her website, so I don't know - just an e-mail someone sent.

The show should vet this sort of thing, don't ya think?

6. As many times as the media have passed on rumor and unsubstatiated "fact",
it's hard to believe that vetting this sort of thing is very high on their list of important things to do.

7. I took that to mean "her supporters" who were actually supporting her
That would weed out the bashers.

4. I think today is a result of negative reactions to yesterday.
I don't think it was planned.
