Clinton Poised to Raise $1 Billion

“The team of fundraisers tasked with raising more than $1 billion for Hillary Clinton’s expected presidential bid will start with two major assets: a national grass-roots operation two years in the making and a network of wealthy Democratic donors much broader than the one that backed her first White House run,” the Washington Post reports.

“But for all those advantages, Clinton and her allies will also be scrambling to catch up with the tens of millions that Republican contender Jeb Bush has been stockpiling in a super PAC set up to back his campaign. A similar vehicle poised to help Clinton has so far struggled to secure commitments.”

And if they won't, what does that tell us?

I tell you, we lose either way if she's the nominee.

If she loses, we get Jeb or some other tool. And, if she wins, Congress will turn even more red and nothing will get done.

The fix is in, Citizens United helps install corporatist nominees in both parties so the one percent win no matter what.

And we all lose.
