Money can buy you votes
Hillary Clinton must be firm friends with her bank manager. Yesterday, news broke that she loaned her campaign $6.4 million last month. This comes on top of $5 million in January. The Clinton fortune has flowed freely into ads, refreshments and campaign literature.
So, what’s $20 million more for a vital superdelegate?
One of California’s key voters is selling his vote:
Sacramento superdelegate Steven Ybarra says that eight-figure price is peanuts for the presidency.
When asked whether it was right to offer what is clearly a quid pro quo?”Yeah, absolutely. People do it all the time,” answered Ybarra.
Ybarra says the money would go towards registering and educating Mexican-American voters. Ethics aside, no candidate seems interested in splashing out.
$20 million is no bargain. And buying votes might seem a little too desperate, even for this race. Perhaps you can’t put a price on the presidency.
