19. the money isn't going to get into her coffers in a big way until she announces something

like she is forming an exploratory committee or other significant action.

It seems like a stupid effort to say voters savvy enough to donate to political campaigns aren't also savvy enough to see it would be better to focus on midterms right now.

They could raise TEN X what they did in 2013 and it would still be a drop in the bucket to what is raised and spent in midterms.

Ironically, people who claim to want to "get money out politics" keep giving money to politicians. Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2014 #5

to do so would be to unilaterally disarm which would be stupid when the other guy is arming up. Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #14

And, you expect politicians you give money to are going to stop you from giving money to them? Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2014 #16

Yes, it will take a Democratic majority in all three branches to make that happen. It may even take okaawhatever Feb 2014 #24

that would be terrific if we can get the Constitution amended Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #26

My concern is coverage from the media if the issue comes close to having enough states to ratify. okaawhatever Feb 2014 #28

I think that is a good point because the urgency is imminent. nt arthritisR_US Feb 2014 #6

Total BS - Ed is not keeping up with the news. nt DURHAM D Feb 2014 #7

Oh?... and what "news" are you keeping up with? bvar22 Feb 2014 #35

LOL.... Ahh yeah... bvar22 Feb 2014 #38

Good. DURHAM D Feb 2014 #40

Maybe not... DonViejo Feb 2014 #10

Well that would still siphon money on a delayed basis Armstead Feb 2014 #20

I quit giving to the Democratic party years ago, when they started trashing the base. loudsue Feb 2014 #11

Debbie Wasserman Schultz? bvar22 Feb 2014 #39

No. DURHAM D Feb 2014 #41

The Wasserman-Schultz betrayal of the Democratic Party got overlooked by the National Media bvar22 Feb 2014 #47

Yes. DWS is a tool. loudsue Feb 2014 #48

If true, it would be pretty stupid. TheMathieu Feb 2014 #12

See article posted below Armstead Feb 2014 #18

not even remotely true. Ready For Hillary raised $4 million in all of 2013. In 2010 Midterms Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #13

That was before the current campaign kicked in Armstead Feb 2014 #17

I think it's a little more complex - TBF Feb 2014 #15

How concerning. nt msanthrope Feb 2014 #25

yep. I am going to go light my hair on fire and run around outside Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #27

Nobody's asking you to light your hair on fire Armstead Feb 2014 #29

in your OP you seemed to be in stage 1 freak out mode. Republicans got WAY more SuperPac money than Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #31

I don't go into freakout mode (usually)...But I am more than a little nervous about 2014 Armstead Feb 2014 #32

I guess we should just leapfrog over the 2014 election? Armstead Feb 2014 #30

Indeed...that is concerning. Who, pray tell, did you have in mind? nt msanthrope Feb 2014 #33
