Just because they didn't slip Slick Willie some cash - doesn't mean he didn't benefit.
Party loyalty and all that....98
Of course he benefited, but he would have benefited exactly the same if none of the donors to the DNC had ever gotten within 10 miles of the LB. It wasn’t a money-making scheme, it was a thank you with amazingly bad optics.
But your entire argument above is predicated on the personal wealth of presidents. Since the LB situation put no money in Clinton’s pocket, it doesn’t apply.
Boru Also love how he tries to accuse you of political bias

OLB's argument, like all his other ones is predicated upon the deluded idea that if he shouts loudly enough about minor Democrat misdemeanours, the whole world will quickly forget about the large republitraitor crimes. As such, he's simply following the footsteps of his hero Herr Oberststurmbanngroppenfuhrer Donald Dumbfuck.
And cunts like you will still insist if somebody doesn't suck Hillary's dick - then they must be a fan of Cheetoboy......
Oh well....

And it's impossible for someone who gained a shitton of wealth in a corrupt way to win the presidency is impossible why? And they'd break the cycle of corruption once they get in the Oval Office why? Or, for that matter how?

How do you tell a US President is crooked?
They're President of the United States. That's the first sign.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

There was a crooked man, who walked a crooked mile, and found a crooked six-pence, by a crooked stile.
He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse, and they all lived together in a little crooked house.
Thank you, thank you so much, thank you thank you, I'm here all week.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

McConnell gets $50,000 from pharma after blocking bill to lower drug prices
Quote:Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced in September that he would block any consideration of a bill to lower prescription drug costs. By the end of December, he had raked in more than $50,000 in contributions from political action committees and individuals tied to the pharmaceutical industry.
"Socialist price controls will do a lot of left-wing damage to the healthcare system. And of course we're not going to be calling up a bill like that," he told reporters.
Though polling shows about 88% of Americans favor letting Medicare negotiate lower drug costs, the pharmaceutical industry is strongly against it. And within days of McConnell's announcement, his reelection campaign and his leadership PAC saw a large uptick in donations from the industry.
