I seldom post a tip jar as it is immaterial but I am pissed. Tips for President Sanders.

Is it a prerequisite for a for a Democrat running for President to be a Liar?

That is except for Bernie.

In an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes on Wednesday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) denied she donated $250,000 to every state Democratic party as a move to start a 2020 campaign for president. Warren said the donations were to build party “infrastructure” because she wants a Democratic party that “picks fights.”

CHRIS HAYES, MSNBC HOST: I — I want to ask you about something you just announced since I have you here. You just donated $5,000 to every state Democratic party for a total of $250,000. People are interpreting that as a big move perhaps on the way to running for President. Is that a correct interpretation?

SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN: No. I am not running for President. I’m running for Senate in Massachusetts.
HAYES: I asked if that was a correct interpretation as a first move toward that?

WARREN: No. Let me tell you what it is a move toward. I believe that we need to build the infrastructure in the Democratic party in every single state in this country. And that means they need resources right now.

HAYES: Right.

WARREN: To be able to reach out, to be able to get voters registered, to be able to do their grassroots organizing and I want to help them in any way I can. You know, the other part I talked about at this — at this same speech you’re talking about is the importance of having a Democratic party that stands for something. A Democratic party that isn’t just willing to take on a fight when it comes to it. A Democratic party that picks fights. A Democratic party that makes people across this country say, I want to get out there and vote. That’s — that’s what I want to see.

HAYES: Senator Elizabeth Warren thank you for your time tonight.

Elizabeth Warren’s Campaign Turned To A Big Donor To Pay For The DNC Voter Database, Despite Her Fundraising Pledge

A campaign aide said Warren didn’t solicit the money herself and that there was no violation of her promise to abstain from pay-for-access fundraising.

Elizabeth Warren relied on a multimillion-dollar Democratic donor to cover the cost of an expensive voter database — a move that risks putting her campaign at odds with the spirit, if not the letter, of the pledge she made to abstain from “big money” fundraising.

In February, two months into her presidential campaign, Warren set herself apart from the rest of the Democratic field by swearing off the kind of pay-for-play fundraising that typically gives wealthy donors outsize access and influence: front-row seats at closed-door fundraisers, one-on-one-time with candidates, and private phone calls, known on campaigns as hourslong blocks of “call time” for soliciting big checks.

Warren officials said she did not violate that pledge when her campaign turned to one of California’s top Democratic donors, a wealthy Silicon Valley physician named Karla Jurvetson, to help pay for access to a crucial voter database earlier this spring.

The so-called national voter file, a pool of data about millions of people that presidential campaigns use as a foundation for their own private data as they identify and track support over time, is managed by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and costs campaigns a total of $175,000, according to the DNC’s voter file contract.

The DNC term sheet outlines two ways campaigns may pay for the voter file: by transferring funds directly to the DNC, or raising that money “to” the DNC through donors.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that these ties are new,🤔😏👇😯

LOS ALTOS — In the year of the woman, she has quickly become one of the most influential women in political fundraising — but don’t worry if you’ve never heard of Karla Jurvetson.

During the 2018 election cycle, both Warren and Gillibrand raised the majority of their funds from women for the first time in either’s Senate career, according to CRP. Harris had nearly twice as many female donors as male donors, although 54.4 percent of the roughly $14.7 million she raised in individual itemized donations came from men, the center found. (She raised much of her most recent haul in smaller donations.)

Donors like Jurvetson will be in high demand over the next two years. She hosted Warren for a fundraiser at her Los Altos Hills house last month, and she’s also met Gillibrand and Klobuchar as well as former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey. She says she hasn’t made up her mind on whom to support for president, and hopes to see a competitive primary

Now that I got that of of my chest I feel a bit better and will probably sleep soundly.😁😛

Not sure if this is viewable but I will add this to the conversation.😁
