After offering on Wednesday to go without paychecks to help save precious campaign resources, senior staff members on Hillary Clinton's campaign are in fact not going without pay during the month of February, ABC News has learned.
"It's not happening," said a source familiar with the situation.
Clinton's campaign has been shouting from the rooftops all day about its online fundraising efforts since Super Tuesday
One longtime Democratic consultant not affiliated with any campaign wondered if perhaps the whole thing wasn't a big stunt to garner media attention and look like an "underdog."
"I'd take this revelation as a sign that they planned this whole thing," the consultant said.
The real problem with the Clinton campaign is that it is hollow inside. Essentially they put on whatever facade is the most politically expedient without changing anything fundamentally about their programs or stances on the issues.
Hillary is losing supporters because they are beginning to realize that there is no “there” there. But then she attracts new supporters through a chameleon like ability to appear to be exactly what the newbie’s are looking for.
So to the war crowd she appears to be tough on defense.
To the people looking for healthcare she touts her unsuccessful bid to provide it in the 90’s.( Enigma over at Watergate Summer pointed out that her health care page has been updated numerous times to better mirror Obama’s and Edward’s healthcare plan. Interesting no?)
To the female audience she allows a tear to be seen.
To the independents she talks about change.
And to the war crowd she promises to bring the troops home.
And now she notices that Obama’s underdog status has garnered him support so she lends herself money, publicizes that her staff is going unpaid, and sends Bill out to start calling her an “underdog”.
But then the question remains. Who is the REAL Hillary Clinton? And what would her Presidency look like?
What is real? And what is just for political show?
and today....
ReplyDeletein Tacoma Washington...
She talked about how" She would be the one to help Americans ( deep breath....gulp...) D-R-E-A-M."....
( Oh that's right we are not allowed to dream if it is Because Obama said we could....that was WRONG....
that we needed a "reality check")
First she stole the HOPE..
Then she stole the CHANGE....
Then she Stole the Healthcare Package..
( btw Obama's NEW speech is MUCH better and he says HEALTHCARE FOR ALL....now...accessible, affordable and available...huh..sound familiar ....yup.....and that it is availabe to Everybody that wants and needs it....AND HILL IS STILL DOING HER MANDATORY INSURANCE- AND SHE SAID THAT OBAMA WAS NOT OFFERING IT TO ALL- LIED RIGHT THERE IN THE TACOMA FIELD HOUSE TO 3000...
Obama spoke to 20,000 inside Key Arena...and 3-5000 outside....he is amazing...)
