Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton rails against a “political system hijacked by billionaires and special interests.” Billionaire George Soros just wrote a $6 million check to a pro-Hillary SuperPAC.
“Our democracy should work for everyone,” states HillaryClinton.com, “not just the wealthy and well-connected.” Last week, we discovered Mrs. Clinton was paid a whopping $675,000 by Goldman Sachs, the politically-connected Wall Street investment firm, for three speeches after she left the State Department.
Nice work if you can get it.
“Her top donors read like a Who’s Who of Wall Street,” editorialized Investor’s Business Daily. “But sure, she’s going to clean up campaign finance.”
Not only that, Hillary also claims she’ll take on and harshly regulate those same powerful Wall Street interests.
In last Thursday’s debate, Mrs. Clinton took umbrage at the idea that rival Senator Bernie Sanders “would characterize me, a woman running to be the first woman president, as exemplifying the establishment.”
This led columnist Danielle Allen, also a woman, to opine: “Clinton does not merely exemplify the establishment. She and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, are the Democratic Party establishment.… That candidate Clinton could deliver her line with a straight face goes to the heart of her trustworthiness problem.”
Responding to Bernie Sanders’s questions about her significant financial support from powerful interests, Hillary told the debate audience, “I know this game. I’m going to stop this game.”
Mrs. Clinton is very believable as to the first claim. The second? Not so much.
This is Common Sense. I’m Paul Jacob.

Two things we’ve learned about the Clintons: you can’t trust Bill with your teen-aged daughter, and you can’t trust the Hilldog with your wallet.
It is sad that Americans have come to the stage of edifying a criminal and a socialist + as top D candidates for president of our United States!
.… Missus Cli’ton says she knows the game and will stop it.
.… Mr Jacob believes she knows it but doubts will stop it .…
Mr Jacob is way too kind.
I believe there are those who don’t understand the asked question. Then there are those capable of comprehending but not of answering the asked question. After those come those who both understand and can answer the asked question. And then there are those of us who are capable of both comprehending the need for and of answering the unasked question.
The dumbest of those make up the first group, into whose bottom quintile fits the dumbest woman to have ever failed the especially-dumbed-down-for-the-DC-demographic DC Bar — and who cannot lie Straight in bed! .

Depends on which ‘game’ Hillary is referring to. How many ‘democrats’ have played the game of democracy, running in elections, and then stopped the ‘game’ after being duly elected?
