Clinton camp sends out desperate plea for more funds
NYP ^ | Aug 21, 2016 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 08/21/2016 10:57:20 AM PDT by upchuck

Campaign manager Robby Mook has written a panicky pitch to Hillary Clinton supporters warning that fundraising numbers are dipping – even adding “that’s how elections are lost.”

“Our poll numbers are holding steady, which is good. We’re growing our field organization, building out neighborhood teams in communities all over the country — which is even better,” Mook wrote.

“But that’s happening at a time when our fundraising levels are, frankly, dipping.”

Mook appears to attribute lower fundraising numbers with overconfidence. “It seems that with our convention in the rearview mirror and pundits constantly saying that ‘momentum’ is on our side, a lot of people believe that we have this locked up and that donations don’t matter anymore.”

But, Mook warns, Donald Trump can still win the election.

"grifters gonna grift"

Bingo. This reminds me of two things:

Jeb's squandering of a massive fundraising advantage.

Ted's constant Jim-and-Tammy-Faye emails to supporters.

With Hillary's ready access to millions from foreign sources and liberal billionaires, she should be ashamed for putting the squeeze on the average person.

But the Clintons are NEVER ashamed of anything that puts money in their hands.

For any woman who is thinking of donating they should read this. We need to get this to everyone:

http://nypost.com/2016/08/21/huma-abedin-worked-at-a-radical-muslim-journal-for-10-years/

From today's New York Post:

Hillary Clinton’s top campaign aide, and the woman who might be the future White House chief of staff to the first female US president, for a decade edited a radical Muslim publication that opposed women’s rights and blamed the US for 9/11.

In a separate January 1996 article, Abedin’s mother — who was the Muslim World League’s delegate to the UN conference — wrote that Clinton and other speakers were advancing a “very aggressive and radically feminist” agenda that was un-Islamic and wrong because it focused on empowering women.

“‘Empowerment’ of women does more harm than benefit the cause of women or their relations with men,” Saleha Mahmood Abedin maintained, while forcefully arguing in favor of Islamic laws that have been roundly criticized for oppressing women.

“By placing women in the ‘care and protection’ of men and by making women responsible for those under her charge,” she argued, “Islamic values generate a sense of compassion in human and family relations.”

Huma continued to work for her mother’s journal through 2008. She is listed as “assistant editor” on the masthead of the 2002 issue in which her mother suggested the US was doomed to be attacked on 9/11 because of “sanctions” it leveled against Iraq and other “injustices” allegedly heaped on the Muslim world. Here is an excerpt:

“The spiral of violence having continued unabated worldwide, and widely seen to be allowed to continue, was building up intense anger and hostility within the pressure cooker that was kept on a vigorous flame while the lid was weighted down with various kinds of injustices and sanctions."

"It was a time bomb that had to explode and explode it did on September 11, changing in its wake the life and times of the very community and the people it aimed to serve.”

I’ve been calling the Clintons “White Trash Grifters” since the early 90’s.

It’s what they are. It’s what they do.

What happened to the Saudi gravy train? Don’t tell me the House of Saud is pulling the plug...

I think the House of Saud--through their contacts with the Islamic banks in the United Arab Emirates--may have gotten wind of the fact the Clinton Foundation is knee-deep (or possibly much higher!) in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) debacle in that country. Say what you want about the Arabs, but historically they have been very business-savvy people, and the House of Saud does not want to sully their hands with anyone connected to 1MDB right now. And the 1MDB scandal could end up seriously damaging the careers of many in Hollywood, too--it appears that Leonardo DiCaprio's own charity had a lot of close ties with 1MDB.

The Saud’s are getting southern towns shelled by Yemen. They are increasing military pay drastically. Looks like the Oligarchy picked the losers again.

And yet she was fool enough to squander her dwindling resources on a 20 mile jet plane commute from Martha’s Vineyard to Nantucket?

“...Donald will slay Killary ...”

She will wither up and die on her own when she looses. She is a “Dracula-like” apparition who can only continue to survive on the blood of the voters.

To the Democrats: You've got it all locked. Donations don't matter any more, so don't send any more money.

Besides, the Clinton Foundation will be able to cover it, and the Media is doing all that they can.

Heck, take Election Day off, too - the others will cover for you... :)

Clinton’s “beggng for money” is fraudulent.

“Clinton’s July FEC report shows her campaign’s work to bring small donors into the fold is paying off. Her Democratic primary rival, Bernie Sanders, had strong appeal online and had routinely trounced her on the small-money front. In July, contributors giving $200 or less accounted for $11.4 million of Clinton’s fundraising — roughly double the amount they gave her in June.

These small donors helped Clinton raise about $90 million last month for her campaign and Democratic Party allies.
http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/trailguide/la-na-trailguide-updates-democratic-mega-donors-plow-money-into-1471744868-htmlstory.html

Trump, who did not raise much money during the primary and had no finance team until late May, has proven a surprisingly strong fundraiser. In July, he raised more than $80 million for his campaign and allied Republican Party groups, his campaign said.

Clinton’s campaign began this month with about $58 million in the bank. Trump’s campaign said that as of Aug. 1 it had $37 million in cash and another $37 million in joint accounts with the Republican National Committee.”
