Ready for Hillary in 2016?

[limpyhobbler]

Interns are already on the job. They had better be getting a paycheck, not just college credits.

A new group dedicated to paving the way for a Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016 has already recruited dozens of the Democratic Party’s [font color="green"]elite donors and bundlers[/font], effectively kicking off the presidential [font color="green"]money[/font] hunt more than three years before Election Day.

The group, Ready for Hillary, is aiming to build Mrs. Clinton a grass-roots network that would give her a prohibitive edge in any Democratic primary and a significant advantage over potential Republican rivals, channeling enthusiasm for Mrs. Clinton, a former first lady and New York senator, into Facebook hits, Twitter followers and affinity groups around the country.

But the group’s early [font color="green"]cash[/font] haul and cultivation of a [font color="green"]high-powered donor network[/font] underscores how presidential campaigns have continued to evolve — and lengthen — in the wake of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision.

The [font color="green"]donors[/font] joining Ready for Hillary’s finance committee are likely to figure prominently in any future campaign [font color="green"]fund-raising[/font] by Mrs. Clinton or future advertising-oriented [font color="green"]“super PACs”[/font] backing her. Disclosure reports due to be filed with the Federal Election Commission this week, and provided to The New York Times, will show more than a million dollars raised since the group began fund-raising in earnest this spring.

The money election is over. The decision has already been made. You get a choice between Hillary Clinton and someone who doesn't believe in evolution. Choose wisely.

1. I read that as 'elite donors and bumblers'

Thought she was retaining her old campaign staff



Yes! Bring on the primaries!!!111

2. "You get a choice between Hillary Clinton and someone who doesn't believe in evolution."

Nope. That's not the choice.

If she runs, I'll vote for a qualified opponent in the primaries.

I'll spend money to see that person beat her.

Just like I did in 2007.

[Ron Green]

And I don't want a dumb deal.

6. is evolution supposed to matter?

let's see, then our choice is

a corporatist who will screw the working class, but believes in evolution
versus
a corporatist who will screw the working class, but does NOT believe in evolution

and I am supposed to care about evolution?

The fact that people with deep pockets are already voting with their dollars to make sure "we the people" do not get a real choice, just makes me that much less willing to support Hillary.

Not that she has any chance of winning Kansas anyway.

7. whata with you xlintnites?

Hillary is not the inevitable nominee. Did you learn nothing from 2008?

If Liz Warren runs *please please please* she will trounce Hillary. And my second choice would be good ol' uncle Joe over Hillary.

Sure Hillary would be better than any gopet but so would my slippers.
If you clintonites are serious tell her to start talking about what she would do for working folks instead of telling us how she has the nominationin the bag.
She doesn't.

8. The harder people push, the less appealing she becomes. n/t

10. Especialy as so many of us

are angry at Obama because he morphed into a Clinton. The last thing we need is an enabler of the right.
