It was the yuks, not the bucks.

Hillary Clinton suggested that it wasn't donations that made her go to Donald Trump's wedding a decade ago, it was the mogul and Republican candidate's abilities as an entertainer.

During the recent GOP primary debate in Cleveland, Ohio, Trump claimed his money was the reason Clinton attended one his 2005 wedding to model Melania Knauss, but that's not how the former secretary of state remembers it.

Following a campaign event in New Hampshire on Monday, Clinton laughed at Trump’s assertion that she had “no choice” but to attend.

“I didn’t know him that well. I mean I knew him, and I happen to be in Florida, and I thought it was going to be fun to go to this wedding, because it’s always entertaining,” Clinton quipped when asked about Trump’s remark following her town hall at Exter High School.

“It’s all entertainment. I think he’s having the time of his life, saying what he wants to say getting people excited both for and against him.”

1. You go gal. I like your response--not talking the donald seriously.

9. He is very entertaining,

in a sick sort of way.

I would go to his wedding, just for the spectacle.

2. The same reason the Clinton family occasionally spends time with the Bush family I guess. n/t

3. It doesn't bother me if she went to Trump's wedding.

[MisterP]

4. it does bother me that she associates Trump with anything remotely like the concept of "fun"

7. So you don't think

That Trump is funny, even hilarious?

I think I need an eyewash.

................Clinton’s comments came during a press avail with reporters following her townhall where she rolled out her plan to tackle the rising cost of college and student debt.

After a series of questions from reporters regarding Trump, Clinton eventually threw up her hands in exasperation when, finally, asked about student debt.

“Oh really?!” Clinton said, sarcastically. "What does Donald Trump have to say about college affordability? I would wonder."

16. ha!

That's the kind of shit we need to start hearing from Hillary.
Unscripted and real.

[ecstatic]

18. Bingo! That's what Trump is supposedly doing

And it's working for him (although his personality reads like satire... but nobody can stay in character for decades, can they?). The best thing Clinton can do right now is drop the advisers and just be real.

8. .

Yeah, sure.

[840high]

12. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

13. I think of the Rodney Dangerfield movie Back to School

Where Rodney Dangerfield donates enough money to make a building and in return they enroll him in the choice college.

A professor interrupts the ceremony saying he wants to speak out against the school selling its reputation and an enrollment spot to an obviously unqualified student.

The Dean's answer is perfect. I appreciate that Phillip, but what you don't understand was just how big the check was.

I think Hillary went to the wedding because Trump was a large donor and I'm sure there are many similar stories.

[840high]

15. I remember that movie.

[delrem]

14. I like seeing how it all reduces.

Hillary and Donald tweeting back and forth,
being there for each other.
Being there for Barbara and George H. W. Bush.

Making the cover of the National Enquirer, Globe, The Sun, with selfies taken with the Kardashians.

If that's the kind of thing that turns Bill and Hillary's crank, who am I to deny their pursuit of happiness?

17. Was the wedding before or after Trump gave her $100,000?

for her campaign?

[Sheepshank]

22. She could have made $250K making a 45 Min speech

I really don't think the donation to her foundation was anything short of a tax write off for Trump.

[Ichingcarpenter]

23. She and Bill didn't have the foundation back then

read the article, it was 10 years ago or so and Donald said he gave to her campaign...............

[Romulox]

20. As in, "Cashing big checks is FUN!" nt
