Hillary Clinton Super PAC Struggles to Raise Money
Wall Street Journal ^ | May 21, 2015 | By PETER NICHOLAS and LAURA MECKLER

Posted on 05/21/2015 1:50:31 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

The super PAC supporting Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid is struggling to raise money and now expects to collect only about $15 million through the end of June, people familiar with the matter said Wednesday.

The group, Priorities USA Action, is shaking up its senior staff in hopes of jump-starting a fundraising operation that, five weeks after Mrs. Clinton entered the presidential race, has garnered only about $5 million in “hard commitments,” two people familiar with events say.

How exactly does Citizens United (which Dems hate) apply to GOP supporters, but not to Clinton’s public or private Super PACs? The subtlety is lost on me.

So far this is a Seinfeld campaign. A campaign about nothing.

No biggie.

She can make that up in a good week of cattle futures trading.

From Huffington Post, who asks the same question:

“Thus she throws a populist bone to the Warrenite Dems on the left. But since her campaign is already seeking contributions from everyday Americans like me, I can’t understand why our champion will need $2.5 billion of our money to gain the White House. This figure, which is what each major party reportedly plans to spend in quest of the presidency, is more than twice the record amount spent to re-elect President Obama in 2012, and about $700 million more than the total spent for both Romney and Obama in that election. Why does Hillary need $2.5 billion to run for president?”

“Why does Hillary need $2.5 billion to run for president?”

So she can funnel off a huge chunk for herself and Bill. Also some to pay for her defense when she is sued by whomever gets the balls to do so. Some for hush money.

Glass Jaw Hillary, is bobbing and weaving from congressional demand for documents, and ducking press questions.

She has a distaste for retail politics with the little people.

She sucks, her Super PAC sucks, her husband sucks, her daughter sucks, her campaign sucks and Cruz is kicking her ass in the money game.

I can’t help but wonder if this is all a ploy, her running for President. She collects all this cash to run for President, but what if she end up bowing out should another candidate step in, does she get to keep the funds?

Clinton will raise an enormous amount of money. Way more than any in history(at least the last 800yrs). Her problem is that she is a terrible candidate.
