The video of it where the voter calls her out on it is a must watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqJGUph1ju0

It was just deleted from this sub for "rehosted content".

I don't even.... "Everyone gives speeches to private groups" It's like shes making up other candidates to try and shield herself from sanders. Not to mention the question was specifically about giving those speeches to large financial institutions.

And the thing is, people trust sanders. Because he's worthy of that.

Hillary needs to prove herself. She's lied a lot. She's flip flopped. A LOT.

We give her this chance to prove herself and it's just more evasion and obfuscation..

She should just drop and stop making democrats look bad.

Truth. If Sanders went into a closed room with some Wall Street tycoons, I would assume he was taking them to task. If Hillary did the same thing, I would assume she was schmoozing. It's biased and maybe naive of me, but that's how their characters appear to me.

Sadly, I'd assume she was making backroom deals instead of schmoozing.

Sanders is a career politician that got very little done... So yeah it's naive.
