(40,416 posts)I am going to be paying very close attention to Ms. Clinton. I am not altogether on anybody's bandwagon for 2016. But she's one of the ones who I'm watching closely. But don't expect me to commit until 2016.

(14,498 posts).... Clinton , bravely throwing her customary calculating caution to the wind... decides to help DeBlasio *fund-raise*.
What bravery. What vision. What a woman. What a LEADER.
AND.... we're supposed to be *happy* about this.
Well...aside from buying influence w. the now inevitable deBlasio Administration... how does the $$$ these *anonymous* movers and shakers ( Were they 1%-ers? Who knows. The campaign didn't allow pictures and won't release names of attendees. That sure fills ME with confidence!) further the cause of reducing income inequality... which cause Mr.. DeB. has repeatedly returned to throughout the campaign?
This theme is exactly WHY he's 44 points ahead. He needs the $$$ these people are pouring into the campaign ( I was going to say "race" but it's hard to call a 44 point lead a "race" at the last minute like he needs a malignant tumor.
