Ever since PrioritiesUSA confirmed they would sit out the 2014 midterms, I've been fuming. But hey, this is what happens when campaigns are powered by billionaires.
No, PrioritiesUSA will not counter the $27 million spent by the Koch machine already in the midterms because they're gathering up money to support Hillary Clinton's (apparently) inevitable 2016 run.
Thank God someone scolded them over this...and no one better than Lawrence O'Donnell, who lets them know exactly what they're agreeing to with this incredibly poor strategy.
Should Hillary Clinton run and be elected in 2016, she will be president in name only, because she will have a Senate AND a House of Representatives which are so far to the right that the only Supreme Court nominees she could possibly appoint would be to the right of Justice Kennedy.
Maybe that's their goal.
