Hillary sways in the political winds "like a kite caught in a hurricane". She is beholden to special interests first, the American people second.

This is all so ignorant and asinine. Just because you've bought in to 25 years of anti-Hillary propaganda doesn't mean that she's corrupt. You've given ZERO examples of her actually being beholden to Wall Street. Zero examples of her changing a stance or changing a vote because of contributions. And another user brought up a salient point, Obama got millions and millions from Wall Street, but you seemingly don't believe that makes him beholden to Wall Street, this is just hypocritical BS. They both supported Dodd Frank, they both supported the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. She has a comprehensive plan to rein in Wall Street:
Defend Dodd-Frank against Republican attacks.
Impose a risk fee on the largest financial institutions and a tax on high-frequency trading.
Require firms that are too risky to manage to reorganize or even break apart.
Strengthen the Volcker Rule.
Strengthen oversight of the “shadow banking” system to reduce risk.
Hold individuals, not just corporations, accountable when they break the law, including through criminal prosecution.
Ensure that the financial sector serves the interests of investors and consumers, not just itself.
Slow the revolving door between the financial industry and government financial regulators.
“Our banking system is still too complex and too risky … While institutions have paid large fines and in some cases admitted guilt, too often it has seemed that the human beings responsible get off with limited consequences – or none at all, even when they’ve already pocketed the gains. This is wrong, and on my watch, it will change.” - Hillary Clinton
She would not have supported, or be supporting any of these things if she were supposedly beholden to Wall Street. But I guess facts aren't enough to convince you when you've already falsely made up your mind that she's corrupt. It's quite sad.
There is little evidence to suggest that increasing the minimum wage hurts business. A lot of places that rose the minimum wage apparently saw employment grow at faster rates than the national average.
What are you...on Hillary's political campaign payroll?
Obama wanted $10 minimum wage once, and Congress said NOPE. Hillary is a career politician, and yes that is why she is having a bit of trouble. Voters don't care about appeasing others. Sad, but true.
I wonder what political favors she will give for the camping industry.
