Think about that when you think of who is a potential candidate. If the person you want cannot raise $1 billion in campaign funds, they are unelectable in 2016.
This is a fact of national level politics and is especially true for the Democratic nominee because that nominee will face a GOP candidate who is getting a $1 billion assist from the Koch brothers in addition to the $1 billion they will raise for their campaign. That assist won't be as effective as the direct campaign funds, but will make a huge difference in the electability of the GOP candidate.
Right now, Hillary Clinton's campaign machine is definitely capable of raising that kind of money. So is Jeb Bush's.
Name me one other candidate on the Democratic side capable of that and I will consider them.
Name me one person other than Jeb Bush in the GOP Kandidate Klown Kar capable of that and I will consider ways the Democratic candidate can defeat them.
Right now, though, I see NOBODY capable of raising that kind of money other than Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush.
