Of Course: Jeb and Hillary Have the Same Biggest Donors
Of Course: Jeb and Hillary Have the Same Biggest Donors
Serious question. Who is more upset about this, Hillary or Jeb?
“There Is Officially No Difference Between Jeb And Hillary, Whose Biggest Donors Are The Same”. Brutal.
From Zerohedge via The Federalist Papers:
What many have tacitly known for a long time was finally confirmed overnight when an analysis of Federal Election Commission data by Vocativ and The Daily Beast found that of the 60 or so ultra-rich Americans – aka the mega-donors – who have contributed to both Jeb Bush’s and Hillary Clinton’s federal campaigns, seventeen of those contributors have gone one step further and opened their wallets to fund both Bush’s and Clinton’s 2016 ambitions.
None of this is a surprise: back in March, when showing the support of what may be the most important backer for any future president, Goldman Sachs, we explained as much. In “As Jeb Bush Pounces On The Hillary Email Scandal, The Real Winner Is… Goldman Sachs” we wrote:
“Goldman likes to play both sides of the fence and that’s especially true of a race like this where either of these two candidates — Bush and Clinton — could ultimately be helpful to them,” said Charles Geisst, a Wall Street historian at Manhattan College. Campaign finance experts say Goldman is hoping another President Bush or President Clinton would both push for Wall Street-friendly policies and draw on Goldman’s executive ranks for expertise, a practice that has fallen out of favor in the years following the financial crisis.
People donate to both sides of the political spectrum all the time. They like feeling like no matter what happens, they have their “in” to the DC elites. #HedgingYourBets
What is very interesting is how Jeb is the donor these people have pursued to offset their Hillary investment.
You don’t see anybody who supports Hillary Clinton donating to Ted Cruz, that tells you all you need to know. #JustSayin
