...the message from the Cruz-Kasich alignment is actually intended for the superpacs not the voters . It tells them on whom to focus their dollars in the 3 states .


That's probably true, but PAC's don't seem to be working as intended in this election.

You can cry all you want, but there's a big difference between Clinton and Trump as far as money goes. The Clintons are worth something like 45M, apparently. A used Cessna Citation X seems to go for around $10M according to a little bit of googling about, not to mention storage and upkeep and fuel and all that jazz.

It's hard for us poor folk to understand the shades of difference there, but it's about the same magnitude of difference between the Clintons and the average upper-middle class family as it is between the Clintons and Trump.

ETA: Barely related, but while I was looking for that, I got this lol: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/20/nyregion/donald-trumps-jet-a-regular-on-the-campaign-trail-is-not-registered-to-fly.html

The average voter can't see the difference though, and doesn't even care about the difference. Her money gained is through politicking, his is through hard work, in the eyes of the average voter. Her mocking him over flaunting cash is about as useful as him saying shes sexist or something.

He was born with a silver spoon and the Clintons weren't I think a lot of people like me that don't like either see it that way

All pretty silly to me but I guess she has to move toward the general while still competing against a once again unnamed sanders in this case the issue is minimum wage.

Its just a waste of her time to attack him there because shit like this



He doesnt hide that hes wealthy, she for some reason tries to, and somehow i think it almost makes him seem more relatable in that regard.

I agree, not effective. I mean, she's right, but it's not going to be effective because of her image.

Clinton was never very good at reading the pulse of the common folk which is why she comes off so awkward all the time

Trump is very good at reading a very select voting block in this country

The big money vs big money fight is a loser and she should abandon that immediately because it can do way more damage to her than it could ever help her
