Isn't he the brains behind the EnCap debacle in the Meadowlands?

Clintons and money (0.00 / 0)

One thing the Clintons know how to do is raise money from big contributors. Bill was the king of soft money. Hillary knows how to bundle those four figure donations.

$25k just to get in the door? (0.00 / 0)

It's almost like a shakedown - you're either with us or you're not...I just find the squeeze, this early, to be quite vulgar...This idea that you should try to K.O. other candidates by simply overwhelming them with the amount of money you have in the bank. It's a bullying tactic.

It's $25K to be a part of the fundraising committee, no idea what it would cost to get in the door.
