Hillary Clinton Has Been Raising Record Amounts of Money
New York Magazine ^ | 7/1 | Jaime Fuller

Posted on 07/01/2015 3:28:16 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Hillary Clinton announced her fund-raising haul on Wednesday — and it's a record-breaker. Her campaign raised around $45 million from when her campaign began in April to the end of June. The final number may be higher — her campaign is still adding up last-minute donations — but she already beat President Obama's $42 million record in 2011 and Clinton's previous record of $36 million in 2007. According to the campaign, 91 percent of donations were $100 or less. Clinton tweeted a message for her small donors.

(3/3) Just one thing left to say to everyone who has pitched in to support this campaign: Thank you. -H pic.twitter.com/TQTBWUZ3MW — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) July 1, 2015 Clinton has also been attending dozens of fund-raisers featuring donors with bigger checking accounts and recognizable names. Her campaign's overall goal for 2015 is to raise $100 million.

The deadline for filing fund-raising documents with the Federal Election Commission is July 15, so Clinton's opponents will soon reveal how much money they have raised since April. Most numbers will be much smaller than this. Other candidates are just starting to fund-raise — Jeb Bush, for example, just announced his campaign last month. While the super PAC supporting his campaign has fund-raised monstrous amounts of money, his campaign coffers are just starting to get filled up.

I thought we were supposed to want to get the money out of politics.

Incredible! Absolutely incredible - especially with the small donors.

I really do not see how the GOPe is going to compete with Hillary since it is sandbagging Ted Cruz at every turn.

Ted is the only Republican candidate who can beat Hillary. The GOPe has gotten its a** handed to it every time it has tangled with the Clintons, and it is well on its way to happen again.

The real question journalists should be asking is; "Who is giving and why?"

Knowing Hillary's history, poor record as both senator and Sec of State, and obsessive greed and lust for power with no purpose beyond self indulgence, people backing her should be getting some attention from the rest of us.

Has anyone checked to see if there has been a rise in bank and store robberies in the past few months?

Hillary is waiting by the Fax Machine for the final numbers to roll in.

Problem is, she can’t figure out why the Fax Machine is making Coffee.
