but now that they are going broke.....with Team Bernie humiliating them every time Hillary goes begging to Wall Street, suddenly that PAC money goes into the count.

This $7 million today is really unnerving them. With the donor base at 1.7 million and climbing, it just keeps getting easier and easier.

As of February 1st, Hillary has $33 million cash in hand to Bernie's $27 million. Of course, we know his number has grown quite a bit since then, so they are most likely nearly tied.

Now, maybe you are counting Super PACs with whom she is not to coordinate, but that is not her cash on hand. So, I'll go ahead and add this to the pile of lies.

Wed Feb 10, 2016, 10:24 PM

While claiming she opposes it. Trying to have it both ways, as both Clintons so often do.

BTW, the holding of a case is not the same as the specific situation that brought the case to court. That's why my Reply 13 and this one specify "holding" bro. A bit of knowledge about our legal system comes in handy. I recommend it.

A question is not a "story" bro, even if you ducked answering it. And, given that I am a woman, calling me bro is rather dumb, unless, of course, you'd prefer that I call you sis, in which case I will oblige.

In the end, what one does or attempts, and sometimes what one says, is all I need to know.

Clinton: -23M (and rising by the minute - she has to loan herself money and beg in Mexico!) Over 78% of her donors are maxed out.

Bernie: 1 BILLION dollars. He has tapped into over a million donors, and less than 28% are maxed out.

It's far from over.

All of this is my opinion, and based on current information - I do not believe that Clinton has that much COH, when she has reportedly spent over 90% of her funds in Iowa and some money in the next two states.

Her SuperPACs can be used for ads only. Cannot be used to run the campaign.
