The Clinton camp is scrambling to catch up.
Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is off to a booming start in terms of super PAC fundraising. His campaign’s primary political action committees reportedly took in a combined $31 million in just their first week of existence last month. Compared to his chief Democrat rival, Hillary Clinton, Cruz’s haul is even more impressive.
Projections indicate that, even by the end of next month, Clinton’s Priorities USA Action super PAC will bring in less than half of what Cruz was able to raise in just a week.
In response to the disappointing numbers, Clinton backers have replaced high-level committee officials in an effort to attract new donors. One insider told the Wall Street Journal that some involved in the campaign had “unhappiness with the lack of leadership in the organization.”
Another source confirmed there was a unanimous opinion among staffers that “fundraising needed to be stepped up significantly.”
Meanwhile, Cruz is amassing a war chest his supporters hope will take him through the nomination process and into the general election, at which time he can go head-to-head with Clinton – assuming she fulfills expectations by securing her party’s nomination.
Political analyst Mark Halperin concluded that the Cruz campaign and its “eye-popping” ability to raise money is not only a threat to Clinton, but “instantly raises the stakes in the Republican fundraising contest.”
As multiple scandals continue to take their toll on Clinton’s candidacy and reputation, only time will tell if a few personnel changes at Priorities USA Action will bridge the fundraising gap.

I saw my first “FOUR DIED, HILLARY LIED” Benghazi bumpersticker yesterday and I was so happy.
Question: will the GOPe take us to the exact same place as the radical socialist democrats?
Or will the later simply destroy the country, abrogate the Constitution and introduce tyranny? All while many refuse to compromise - remember politics is the art of compromise. But compromise is not surrender either. Compromisers do not always lose - case in point: the many compromises made to found this nation and write the Constitution.
If more radical socialist democrats rule this country there will be no country remaining, just balkanized areas, once States in a unified nation. But some who refuse compromise will be whole and undamaged - as they proudly stand behind the wire at re-education work camps ...
Some excellent choices for defeating GOPers:
Hillary/Biden 2016!
Hillary/McDermot 2016!
Hillary/Michael O 2016!
Hillary/Tom Stein 2016!
Hillary/Soros 2016!
Best choice to utterly defeat GOPers would be to just to give BHO a third term ...
By all means stay home and help elect Hillary, please!
