OMG - HILARIOUS -Someone Uploaded Bernie's Speech To Hillary's Teleprompter & SHE ACTUALLY READS IT!



That's the only explanation, because Hillary Clinton has HUGE SuperPAC support and just returned from a $350,000.00 per person fundraiser with Beverly Hills types, and yet is caught complaining in Wisconsin about SuperPACS and big money in elections. Yes, she is somehow trying to play off this 'just say NO to SuperPACS' speech to the good people of Wisconsin. Well, the voters of that great state are NOT DUMB.

one excerpt:

"In 2014, the top 100 donors to SuperPACS spent nearly as much as all 4,750,000 small donors in the country, combined."

She's complaining about big money in politics?!!! REALLY?!!!

She talks about the obscene amount of money pouring into political campaigns--and the second she exists the stage she'll take a call from Clooney will who tell Hillary how many donors signed up to have dinner with her at his house for $330,000 per couple!

Then, she'll head off to a fundraiser in Manhattan at a hedge fund, where she'll accept several million in campaign donations.

I mean. Seriously.

Well, some of us can get quite passionate when assembling prefab furniture! The cheap shitty parts, manufactured in China, so often don't go together, or go together upside down, or break, or miss-align, or require a sledge hammer to bust it all down to fire wood! Lots of passionate swearing anyway.

That's Clinton, all right. The parts don't go together. The final product is flimsy, if not useless. And 10 Americans die of unemployment, stress, depression, homelessness and despair every time you look at it.

Could you point out where in the video she says those things? I know starting about 1:25 she mentions Justice Ginsberg wanting to overrule Citizens United and how she is "with her" and hopes she, meaning Justice Ginsberg, gets to do just that. But Hillary never says she would help her do it. Other than that she states a bunch of facts and otherwise says nothing that could be considered a commitment. Her lawyer training shines brightly in this clip.

To be honest the video quits playing at 1:45 but continues until 1:54 maybe she says all those things you are claiming in those lost 9 seconds.

Again, if you could point out the times in the clip she says all you claim she says I would appreciate it immensely.

Thanks in advance.
