Hillary Clinton hasn't even announced whether she is running for president yet, but a Republican super PAC is already taking preventative measures.
America Rising launched a website Thursday, StopHillary2016.org, which solicits money from donors to "prevent Americans from ever having to see another Clinton in the White House."
The PAC's executive director, Matt Rhoades, who had managed the Romney campaign in 2012, wrote in a new fundraising note, according to CNN, "President Obama started his reelection campaign on his first day in office. I saw firsthand how big of an advantage that four year head start gave him in 2012. We can't allow that competitive advantage [to] occur again," he continued.
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) became the first lawmaker Tuesday to endorse a PAC backing the yet-to-be 2016 presidential contender Clinton.

Or the "Big Unknown" shows up and inspires everybody. I can imagine that if Hillary is not planning to run, the smartest thing (and best thing for the Party) she could do is give no indication whatsoever that she is NOT running, so as to deflect as much Republican energy and money as possible into chasing a phantom. If she decides to run after all, the Republicans will have wated half their ammunition by convention time anyway. Plus, you just know that the likes of Louie Gohmert and Ted Cruz will piss off half the Republican women with careless statements in the meantime.
