Because he estimates it will take 300 million to defeat Hillary. He’s a very successful numbers guy.

His nephew is my neighbor, and he told them as much way back in October in a extended family council when he was deciding whither or not to run.

Those kind of numbers are near impossible in regular campaign financing.

We’ve already seen candidates drop out due to money. While Mitt is a great fund raiser, he has other resources that he might pull from. I see nothing wrong with that, especially if it means defeating the Clinton machine,
