NEW YORK -- Hillary Clinton’s supporters in recent days have been making a furious round of calls to top Bush family donors to try to convince them that she represents their values better than Donald Trump, multiple sources in both parties told POLITICO. The moves come as Clinton and the Democratic Party try to take advantage of deep unease among establishment Republicans on Wall Street and elsewhere with Trump’s emergence as the presumptive Republican nominee. Story Continued Below Top targets for the Clinton team include people like Woody Johnson, Jeb Bush’s former finance chair and the owner of the New York Jets. In recent days, Bush’s brother and father, former presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, have said they plan to skip Trump’s nominating convention. One person close to Clinton said supporters of the former secretary of state drew up a list of Wall Street donors who supported Jeb Bush and other unsuccessful Republican candidates months ago but wanted to wait until Trump locked down the nomination before beginning to make the calls. “When you think about it there is no downside to making these calls, including for Hillary herself to make then,” this person said. “They may say no but they will talk to her for half an hour about their view of the world and probably say nice things when asked about her publicly. And they might stay away from Trump.” Read more: www.politico.com... Follow us: @politico on Twitter | Politico on Facebook
One big Clinton donor on Wall Street said that Bush donors are prime targets and that "we're a big tent." Potential sources of support for Clinton could include people like Jack Oliver, who also served as a top fundraiser for Jeb Bush. Both Johnson and Oliver did not respond to requests for comment. The race for Wall Street cash will be intense.

I'd say it's all about timing. I'm sure she'll court Bernie supporters at some point; she has to. The problem is gthat she courted Wall Street before she courted Bernie Street and there-in lies the problem. She has her priorities mixed up.

Hillary forces target Bush donors
This doesn't surprise me in the least... DC has long been a huge incestuous cesspool of the greedy and power hungry and self-serving.
What I do wonder is why we're allowed to know about it. Did someone leak what should have been kept secret? Do they think we're just too stupid to figure it out? Do they just not care if we know because they think there's nothing we can and/or will do about it? Are they poking and taunting us to do something about it?
So many questions and so few answers...
This is all about globalization. The one big roadblock is the Constitution of the USA. The easiest way to get rid of it is Martial Law.
I sincerely believe Ferguson was a test.
Keep a close eye on the RNC convention in Cleveland. I think the shock and awe of our police state will shine the light on this corrupt governments intentions. To be honest, look at those who choose to protest violently and how it seems the police have been neutered from the top down on dealing with the violence.

When did this go from fantasy to reality?
Hillary has denounced them on mainstream media. She said she would never take their money.

Hillary also is a 'combat veteran'.... landing under intense sniper and mortar fire in Bosnia..... until someone bothered to look into it.
Now, she claims that she 'misremembered'.
So what is it?
Alzheimer's?
Or is she just a liar?
Which answer will make her a better President?
