Huffington Post is Becoming anti Hillary Clinton Headquarters

There is hostility there. They didn't even mention Kevin McCarthy's gaffe yesterday as well they might have considering that Bernie has been helped by Emailgate.

Yet Huff Po doesn't think that's news fit to print that the next Speaker has admitted-boasted-that the Benghazi Committee is the Committee to Not Elect Hillary Clinton. To them this isn't news.

Now today they are gloating about how much money Bernie is supposedly raising.

"Bernie Sanders Is Catching Up To The Clinton Fundraising Juggernaut. While Clinton's working hard for her cash, Sanders' is flowing in."

"Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign raised more than that of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) during the third quarter of 2015. But not by much. And with Sanders building a massive pool of grassroots donors, it seems entirely possible that he could end up surpassing her in quarters to come."

"All told, Clinton, the former secretary of state, raised $28 million between July and September of this year, a haul that her campaign called the “largest off-year third quarter for a non-incumbent.” That figure falls short of the $47.5 million she raised in the preceding three months, though it still puts her on track to reach her campaign's goal of $100 million goal for the year."

"Sanders was right behind her. According to a campaign aide, the senator is on track to raise over $25 million during the third quarter. Early reports put that figure at $24 million, but the aide explained that the campaign was experiencing its best fundraising day of the cycle on Wednesday, helping to stuff its coffers even more."

"The haul was far larger than the one Sanders had in the previous quarter, when he raised $15.2 million. And perhaps even more impressive for the senator is the way he's grown his treasure chest. The campaign has received 1.3 million donations from 650,000 donors, which, the Sanders aide noted, is “something another insurgent candidate didn't achieve until after [the] Iowa caucuses back in 2008” -- the candidate being then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.)."

"Sanders, in short, isn’t having to work for the money he’s raising. Much of it is pouring in online. Clinton, by contrast, has labored hard for her cash. Though her campaign said that 93 percent of the third-quarter donations were in amounts of $100 or less, she also attended nearly 60 fundraisers this quarter. Sanders, meanwhile, held only seven fundraisers in the same period."

I see that most of the Beltway press is screaming headlines about Bernie today. I guess they're distressed that McCarthy has giving her an opening and they're trying to smack her back down again. 
I will say this: the big story is less that Bernie is taking in so much money than Hillary took in considerably less this last last quarter. 
So are Democrats wetting the bed and not supporting her out of fear over emailgate?
A lot of Bernie Maniacs in the comments were declaring they're going to give more. 
So I just went and donated another $50 donation to Hillary. I had donated a few hundred in the past but this spurred me on. 
I hadn't felt like I could do too much more right now-figuring that she has lots of supporters that will help her. 
I think we Hillary supporters should see this as a wakeup call. 
So I would urge Hillary supporters to reconsider if they think she doesn't need the money. She needs it to shut up the Beltway press for one thing. 
We've heard so much about Bernie getting money out of politics.I guess he hasn't done that yet-turns out he's bringing more in himself. 
I have no problem with that but he can then lose the self righteousness. 
So Hillary supporters we have to fight back against this supposed Bernie financial juggernaut.

  1. And nearly 6 months later, it's still true. I've noticed lately that the only articles on Hillary Clinton are negative comments that men make about her. Also, when Bernie wins, the headline is "Sweeps" or "Triumphs" . When Hillary wins, the headline is "Prevails".

  2. This was a few months back. It's gotten considerably worse since.
