Not The Easiest Topic, But Your $ Donations Need To Be Going To Hillary Now

Continued funding of other campaigns does NOT help to keep Trump out of the WH. We have a candidate, and it's Hillary. She is the one who will be facing Trump in the GE.

If you are planning on making any donations, please make them to her campaign, because her campaign is the campaign of the Democratic candidate in the general.

I realize there is another campaign out there, but at this point it is not a campaign that is going to get it's man the nomination. At best, it will continue to fund travel around the country to fund a candidate making speeches that everyone has already heard hundreds of times. Without any change. Whatsoever.

Of course, people can do what they want with their $. But if they want to make a real investment that can make a real difference in the fall, they'll get behind the presumptive nominee NOW.

The sooner the Party and its supporters pivot to the GE in every respect - tone, focus, message & money - the better shot we have at keeping Trump or any other R out of the WH.

In the meantime, how about donating to a super pac that supports her? I've never done it and am not sure how, but it seems like a viable option.

I think they collect in chunks of $25K or more.

If Hillary needs money she can make some more $225,000 per hour speeches or tell one of her SuperPacs to go collect another $15 million from Wall Street.

Nasty and rude remarks are not appreciated nor will they be tolerated especially since you are posting this in the Hillary Clinton Group. Your lack of manners is showing.
