Constant solicitations for cash in the absence of an actual candidate aren’t sitting well.
In early November, with her party on the eve of an electoral walloping, Democrat Mary Tetreau had had enough. The Londonderry, New Hampshire activist was sick of the constant emails begging for money for a candidate who wasn’t even running for office yet.
When another plea landed in her inbox the day before the election, she unsubscribed.
“I’m not going to be ready for Hillary until she announces she’s running for president,” said Tetreau, a three-decade veteran of New Hampshire primary politics, who called Ready for Hillary’s early-and-often email approach “annoying.”
Three months later, Hillary Clinton remains officially undeclared, but her campaign-in-waiting’s emails continue to flood inboxes of Democratic activists in early voting states. Though it amounts to little more than a nuisance in the grand scheme of the 2016 election, it does point to a downside of Clinton’s strategy of staying out of the public eye while her supporters campaign on her behalf. Namely, that it could create Clinton fatigue among activists and fuel concerns that she’s taking the Democratic nomination for granted.
“I’ll be ready for Hillary when Hillary’s ready for Hillary,” said Bill Verge, a Democratic activist who played a key role in John Kerry’s 2004 New Hampshire campaign. Like Tetreau, Verge, who said he has been “inundated with emails daily,” counts himself a likely Clinton supporter — but one turned off by the aggressive fundraising on behalf of a candidate who appears intent on postponing an official entry into the race possibly until July.-snip-Tension over fundraising in Clinton’s political apparatus spilled out into the open this week when Clinton loyalist David Brock resigned from the board of the pro-Clinton Priorities USA.

Pat Buchanan describes this in The Comeback, his account of that presidential race.
Nixon let Romney embarrass himself on the public stage for months, then swept in as a "fresh" face and secured the nomination.
She is a vile old hag and will not have a good ending.
Well, maybe Hillary’s strategy will work.
But, hard to think of Hillary as a fresh face. She’s been a polarizing figure on the national political scene since the Clintons ran for president in 1992.
Lesse. Hitlery or another dumb Bush. Hmm. I’m at the cafeteria and have a vege choice of brussel sprouts or spinach. I don’t like either.
I think she’s running. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, Clintons gotta run for political office.
My friend Michael Malice summed it up perfectly, IMO.
LOL I love it. Thanks for sharing.
Very true. Even if it kills her.
Warren will take her out.
