Hillary Clinton Has Been Quietly Building A Political Group To Defeat Trump's Agenda
Good Magazine ^ | May 4, 2017 | Eric Pfeiffer

Hillary Clinton has decided she doesn’t have to run for president again to defeat Donald Trump.

Barely six months after the 2016 Election came to a stunning conclusion, Clinton will reportedly launch Onward Together, a political advocacy group squarely focused on putting a stop to President Trump’s agenda. And, according to Politico, the group could be officially launching very soon.

And if that name sounds familiar, that’s because it’s very close to Clinton’s former campaign slogan, “Stronger Together.”

The group will reportedly pull on a team of longtime Clinton donors and advisors to help fund other groups and initiatives around the country. Rather than build a massive organization, the report says Clinton’s staff will be small, streamlined and focused on helping to drive the financial energy behind resistance to Trump to other groups that are already doing work out in the field.

On one hand, you might think telling people how to spend their money against President Trump would be incredibly easy. But on the other hand, many donors are reportedly having trouble choosing exactly where to spread their influence at a time when so many causes and constituencies are potentially under attack from the White House and Congress.

And while plenty of people are already rolling their eyes at the idea of Clinton positioning herself at the center of the Trump resistance as a way to bolster her own political fortunes, it doesn’t like the former Secretary of State is using the group for her own benefit. Besides, even those are lukewarm to Clinton’s capabilities as a candidate have to admit she’s very, very good at raising money. So, for those hoping that the Democratic Party and progressive politics in general move on from the Clinton generation, this could be a way to conveniently satisfy all parties – allowing Clinton to play a vital role in the movement’s future while leaving the field open for a generation of new candidates and leaders to run for office free of comparisons to the former First Lady.

Clinton also has her own book in the works. So, while we almost certainly won’t be on the ballot in 2020, expect her and her allies to remain at the forefront of the Trump resistance for the foreseeable future.

Let her build it. Keeps her busy. She has about as much chance of stopping trump as a ping pong ball stopping a bulldozer. Apples and oranges!

Yes, there are people on the left with deep pockets who would be willing to fund efforts to defeat Trump's agenda. However, are they willing to hand that money over to Hillary.....again?

They already have groups in some cities with Facebook pages.

It looks like it's sort of an umbrella organization that brings together a lot of different prog groups.

During one of the presidential debates last October.....I think it was the debate in Las Vegas.... Donald Trump looked at Hillary and said he was going to appoint a special prosecutor to go after her when he is president.

After the election, President-Elect Trump altered his position, saying “I don’t want to hurt her.”

Big mistake, Mr. President.

This chronic liar, criminal, traitor and seditionist needs to be arrested. Such a hag miscreant should not be above the law. Lock this wretch into a SuperMax and waterboard her.

Clinton, Obama... sociopaths all...

Yes, and if one correctly recalls, sociopaths are all in for revenge.

Hillary channels... Tonya Harding.

She is obviously being empowered by satan. Christians pray against the powers of darkness, that they are bound from empowering her, in Jesus Holy Name, Amen.

While I share the outrage of folks her for Hillary and Democrats, I am not really going to say a lot about what they get up to so longs as the so-called Republicans are just as duplicitous and nefarious. As Trump said long ago - the Democrats - I get where they are coming from. It's the Republicans I don't understand [we do, actually. They are self-serving frauds and crooks and don't even make the excuse about being socialists].

Grifters they be,

And they have legal bills for things known and unknown.
