THIS JUST IN---Hillary "said" she plans to raise more than a billion dollars to fund her campaign....with no challengers, as yet.

(Funny....Obama "said" the same thing back in 2012----said he was so popular that a billion dollars poured in to aid his reelection. Except that later on, the billion dollar Obama "said" he was forced to borrow money in order to continue his campaign.)

In Hillary's case, money keeps pouring into her $2.5 Billion Super-Pac (AKA the Clinton Foundation). As long as she's in the race, foundation donors are ponying up----lying in wait for Hillary to be coronated.

BTW, remember that Hillary was accumulating her $2.5 billion 2016 campaign war chest AT THE SAME TIME the viscous Clinton machine was rolling over anyone who dared to challenge her.

Americans should be asking---why does this political retread need a $2.5 billion war chest......when the job she's after is worth maybe $2 million w/ perks and free plane rides.

April 16, 2015: WSJ: Clinton Foundation to Keep Foreign Donors"..............The new rules for the Clinton Health Access Initiative, an affiliated but separate charity, were expected to be somewhat less restrictive than the new Clinton Foundation rules, and hadn’t been completed on Wednesday. Officials said the missing disclosure was an oversight.

Ethics experts had recommended the foundation forego all foreign donations. Robert Walker, the former nonpartisan chief counsel and staff director of the Senate and House ethics committees, said the foundation likely will need to go further than its current plan. “The only effective step would be for the foundation to cease accepting donations from foreign governments,” Mr. Walker said. “It is inevitable that the foundation will, sooner rather than later, decide to forego accepting donations from foreign governments, except for those pledges already on approved multiyear cycles.”

Under the new rules, approved countries would be allowed to renew multiyear pledges, or make additional contributions to new programs, an official said. Such funding would support economic development or climate-focused work of the Clinton Climate Initiative, the Clinton Development Initiative, which focuses on Malawi, Rwanda and Tanzania, and the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership.............."

You don’t need it. Those advertisements in 2008 and 2012 didn’t even cost Obama’s campaign $1 billion, who needs one billion dollars or more for campaigning. Not even Ross Perot, who was worth $3 billion, actually spent $1 billion on his campaign, only $40 million, that’s it. Do I like Ross Perot, no I don’t, but when the personally richest candidates aren’t spending all that much, that is saying something.
