Where is Hillary’s Money Really Coming From?



Hillary Clinton announced at the end of last week that her campaign had raised an unprecedented $45 million dollars at the end of the second quarter of fundraising for this year. This is one of the largest quarterly hauls for a presidential campaign, and the largest primary haul to date.

The money itself is believable, but Hillary’s campaign manager tweeted out shortly after the announcement, that 91% of the donations to the campaign were in amounts of $100 or less. Pay attention to his language – he didn’t say 91% of the total amount raised, he said 91% of the total DONATIONS.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Some lowly intern posts this stuff. They don't stick around for Q&A. Tarheel_Dem Jul 2015 #9
Appears they are a bit shocked at Hillary's numbers. Hard to fathom how they can slow down Hillary's misterhighwasted Jul 2015 #12
They'll parse her numbers with a fine tooth comb. SSDD. And Hillary's supposedly the one running.. Tarheel_Dem Jul 2015 #16

A fair question don't you think?

But yes I am sure they will vote...and so will the Republicans...but this election will hinge on who the independents vote for or if they vote at all.

Ring of Fire needs to look at the size of her Voter Base before asking this obviously leading question.

How much increase & interest do "news" websites & msm gain at the mention of Hillary's name alone?
Add a teasing gotcha line & the hits just keep on coming & profits rise.
Thanks Hillary!

The filing deadline for the April-June quarter is July 15 -- a week from tomorrow.

The search page is http://www.fec.gov/finance/disclosure/candcmte_info.shtml

Just enter Clinton in the search box. Change the default tab to "Filings." And knock yourselves out.
