On Thursday, some of Hillary Clintons top campaign officials held a briefing for about three dozen members of the 2016 hack pack. Their message was a positive one. The view inside the campaign is that voters are concerned about kitchen-table issues Clinton wants to talk about, rather than media reports and Republican attacks on the [Clinton] foundation, the officials said, Voxs Jonathan Allen reported. Theres no conflict between her promise to represent everyday Americans and the access big donors have had to Clinton and her husband over the years, they said, arguing that voters will trust her to represent them in the White House.
That was partly spin, of course. There is no end in sight to the stories about the finances of the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton e-mails, or the activities of some of the Clintons associates. But as spring rolls into summer, Team Brooklyn has successfully accomplished its two initial goals: heading off the possibility of a serious challenge for the Democratic nomination and surviving a barrage of negative publicity that was inevitable at some stage, and which was, therefore, best confronted early on.
...
For Clintons campaign team in Brooklyn Heights, that means things are on track. Of course, they wont necessarily stay that way. The campaign is just getting started, the country is more or less equally divided, and winning a third term of office isnt easy for any party. Now its up to Clinton to finish up her listening tour, lay out her policy platform, and take it to the Republicans.

Looks like there's great concern about the attacks on her finances, foundations, and influence.

I've said before, you can run multiple international foundations, or you can be Secretary of State, but you can't do both.
And you SURE can't do both AND take huge speaking fees AND run for president.
We'll look back on her candidacy and say...
The objective facts about Hillary Clinton:
-- Runs multiple global family foundations.
-- Service as US Secretary of State.
-- Takes huge speaking fees (often from orgs that benefited from SOS actions)
-- Runs for President
Runs as a "champion of the people"? Bullshit, she's a champion of outsourcing, of big energy, of anybody but the bottom tier working class members of the United States.
Fuck that shit.
