Obviously Hillary doesn't think that the working poor do enough for her with their piddly $20 dollar donation so she'll just take more without asking.
"It's less than $100.00. At this point does it really matter?"

No, that's not it. The banks will refund the money to the consumer, but they most likely won't get it back from the campaign. (or even try) Therefore the campaign now gets to keep $97 instead of $23 or w/e, with the bank essentially giving them the difference without having to claim it as campaign contribution.
This is campaign finance fraud on a major scale.

Honestly, I've never heard of a bank NOT trying to get back every penny but depending on the total amounts ( if it's 1200 a month per state that's 60 grand per month - plus now that it's reported expect amounts to multiply!) this could turn into some serious shit.

"What difference – at this point, what difference does it make?"

Why anyone would donate money to a multimillionaire is just asinine.

My poor, tenant farmer grandfather used to give what little money he had to TV evangelists....the big ones. Jimmy Swaggert and the like....and he was a nice guy..hate he was so ignorant. Makes me sad.

My grandmother gave my grandfather's land to the church after he died.
I'm sure they were just salivating at the prospect of a gullible old women looking to God for inspiration.

Because the Democrat public believe the lies that the Democrat politicians tell them about all the "good" that her "Foundation" does, even if every single instance of that is proven either demonstratively false or completely negligible compare to the average donations of a single celebrity.

Millionaire ? Between 1.8 billion in the Clinton Foundation and 300 million + personal it's safe to peg her as multi billionaire

They're not helping anything, they're not making anything possible that wasn't already possible - but they are buying an invisible, personally-held little "I'm Part Of This!" badge.

She's not even in office yet and already ripping off the citizens.
That has to be some kind of achievement.
[–] Wolfspider 1 point 5 points 6 points (+6|-1) ago
Damn. She is some sort of criminal money sucking vampire.

She just can't stop robbing people.

That's 100 more people a day that, hopefully, won't be voting for that deceitful cunt.
