Hopefully the Yamato.

In the first three months of her presidential campaign, Hillary Rodham Clinton has assembled a massive political battleship — hiring more than 400 staff members, collecting reams of expensive polling data and tapping top-flight consultants.
The details of her sprawling operation emerged this week in a newly filed campaign finance report. The documents showed that Clinton’s organization has spent nearly $19 million — or 40 percent of the $47 million it raised in its first quarter, a year and a half before the 2016 election.
Campaign officials said they needed to expand quickly to be able to weather a surprisingly competitive Democratic primary fight and intense general-election battle.
But the large expenditures cut against the image Clinton’s team has promoted of a lean organization that would not repeat the mistakes of what many considered her undisciplined campaign in 2008. And they raise questions about whether Clinton’s fundraising can keep pace with her rapid spending.
Clinton’s fundraising total between her mid-April announcement and June 30, the end of the quarter, reflected a much larger haul than that of any of her rivals in either party. But she will face a challenge in maintaining that pace: Two-thirds of her money from individuals came from contributors who have given the legal maximum and could not be tapped for additional donations until Clinton began fundraising for the general election. . .

She should be wearing an orange jumpsuit, but she’s running for president. What a country!
A rusty old battleship with a leaky bottom.
Hopefully the Yamato.
Battleships and Hillary—both are relics of a bygone age.
The pig needs an awful lot of lipstick. In the end, it may not help.
And they bear an uncanny resemblance.
Bernie must be pressing her harder than it seems. That, and maybe she isn’t closing the deal with the support groups she’ll need.
In other words, I’m pleased.
Not a problemo. Chinese dishwashers working round the clock. Soros knows how to get in touch with them.
Awww, she was planning to have all that money for the general election.
All of a sudden here comes “Crazy Bernie’s Used Socialism”. and boom Hillary can’t help but spend money on it! Woo Hoo, Go Bernie, Go!
It’s a good thing it’s not her money.
The old battleaxe is determined to buy her way into the White House.
LOL!
Big, heavy and WIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEE!
Or the Tirpitz.
The org will be in place for getting Chelsea her Senate seat in a fee years
“battleships” are obsolete.
Based on the way most republicans are acting RE Trump & ILLEGAL ALIENS, I see another miraculous defeat snatched from the jaws of victory.
Sanders’ showing right now is entertaining, but he’s no chance in the longer haul. How long will it be before another serious challenger is out of time to raise money and build a competent organization?
