  1. The big news of the day is that Hillary didn’t leave a tip at Chiptole.

    UNFAIR. Hillary likely didn’t know that she was supposed to leave a tip. These people never carry their own money. Someone else does.
    That points out another problem WRT connecting to ordinary people.
    They harassed Romney about that.
    But Hillary is known to be a tightwad from Little Rock days.

  2. Agreed Chas,

    Blame the lackey that paid the bill.

    And speaking of connecting with real people…..
    Even her ‘real people” aren’t.

    “Hillary Clinton’s astroturf candidacy is in full swing in Iowa.

    Her Tuesday morning visit to a coffee shop in LeClaire, Iowa was staged from beginning to end, according to Austin Bird, one of the men pictured sitting at the table with Mrs. Clinton.
    Bird told Daily Mail Online that campaign staffer Troy Price called and asked him and two other young people to meet him Tuesday morning at a restaurant in Davenport, a nearby city.
    Price then drove them to the coffee house to meet Clinton after vetting them for about a half-hour.

    The three got the lion’s share of Mrs. Clinton’s time and participated in what breathless news reports described as a ’roundtable’– the first of many in her brief Iowa campaign swing.
    Bird himself is a frequent participant in Iowa Democratic Party events. He interned with President Obama’s 2012 presidential re-election campaign, and was tapped to chauffeur Vice President Joe Biden in October 2014 when he visited Davenport.
    ‘What happened is, we were just asked to be there by Troy,’ Bird said Wednesday in a phone interview.”

    She has 3.6 millions Facebook followers. Half of them aren’t not real either. Same goes for Twitter. It’s all to create the illusion of support where there is none.

    “More than 2 MILLION of Hillary Clinton’s Twitter followers are fake or never tweet – and she’s already under fire for ‘buying’ fake Facebook fans
    Two different online audit tools say no more than 44 per cent of Hillary’s 3.6 million Twitter fans are real people who participate in the platform
    The newly minted presidential candidate is fending off accusations that her Facebook page is full of fake ‘likes’
    Her Facebook fan base includes more people from Baghdad, Iraq than any US city
    When she was secretary of state, her agency paid $630,000 to bulk up its Facebook likes, but pledged to stop after she left”

    So it looks like she may be once again using taxpayer dollars to aid her personally and benefit her campaign. Slimy.
