Clinton Supporters Tried To Bribe In Exchange For Superdelegates?

Power Rangers

This isn’t the first time the swells have tried to hurl their money around. Just a few months ago they were purporting to tell Speaker Pelosi how to do her job because she stated facts unfavorable to Clinton.

One of Sen. Hillary Clinton’s top financial supporters offered $1 million to the Young Democrats of America during a phone conversation in which he also pressed for the organization’s two uncommitted superdelegates to endorse the New York Democrat, a high-ranking official with YDA told The Huffington Post.

Haim Saban, the billionaire entertainment magnate and longtime Clinton supporter, denied the allegation. But four independent sources said that just before the North Carolina and Indiana primaries, Saban called YDA President David Hardt and offered what was perceived as a lucrative proposal: $1 million would be made available for the group if Hardt and the organization’s other uncommitted superdelegate backed Clinton.

Saban made much of his money off of the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers.

  1. I bet Saban probably did do it. He’s on record as being a one issue guy. I can’t wait till Saban is shown the door. If he thinks bribing is the way to get support, he really is as clueless as the guys he’s writing paychecks for(Pollack & O’Hanlon).

    What issue? Equal Rights for Mighty Morphin’ Power-Americans?

  3. [...] Big money Clinton backers allegedly try to buy some [...]

  4. Duros62 says:

    I’ll bet the Pink Ranger doesn’t get the same pay as the rest of the Rangers.

  5. Pistol Pete says:

    It’s too bad that they weren’t able to get the money up front, then endorse whomever they wanted.

  6. I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you!
