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 Clintons 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 Clintons 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 Clintons fundraising can keep pace with her rapid spending.
Clintons 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. . .

Outstanding !
She's got the hips for it!
HMS Rodham
I hope Trump swamps her boat . I hope he pays for so much dirt on her and reveals it all in a way that she is utterly buried by it . Forever . She deserves nothing less . The blood of those that died in Benghazi remains on HER hands
She can’t run a campaign any better than she could run the State Department. The ONLY thing she has ever had going for her is her marriage to a very slick-talking glad-hander named Bill.
Paging Billy Mitchell ...
My gals a corker, she’s a New Yorker,
I spend all my money to keep her in style.
She’s got legs like two whiskey kegs,
And cankles for ankles—that’s how the money goes.

Her hips are like two battlewagons parked together.
If you remember the story from the last Iowa primary episode....it was duly noted by the media that they spent a ton of money around Iowa, with dozens of their VIP players lounging in nicer hotels and just doing a lot of talking. None of it paid off with Iowa primary voters. This is simply another repeat.
She can spend all she wants but that won’t make people like her and that is her biggest problem. She is not a likable person and she is not trustworthy.
She’s everything one loves to hate!!!
All the characteristics of a sociopath.
There are millions more where that came from.
