Bu-bu-but the good civil rights opposing doctor is anti establishment
impressive this early on
spin-off points:
hillary talking middle and lower class this and that but is going to spend more than the gdp of some countries on a campaign and pocket who knows how much of that. seems suspect in the light. an impressive gesture would be to cut personal stimulus package checks back to individual donors in certain income brackets. with her popularity and fame..2.5 billion is an egregious amount of money and isnt necessary. and if she makes a point during or after to limit campaign spending or donations it would be a laughable example of hypocrisy.
i believe ron didn't spend what he raised in his donation coffers either and pocketed some of that as well. i expect the same to happen for rand and most, if not all, candidates. such a scam. kinda similar to charitable organizations and their legal rights to not spend a % of their money. Its way too low.
they need to limit donations big time. should just be a flat limit for every donation rather than this current complicated system of public vs private etc

Is Hillary spending 2.5 billion a joke or is that legit?
I can't speak for everyone as who am I? However, the older I get and the more cynical I become, it's becoming increasingly difficult to view modern day democracy idealistically. The reality as I see it is, modern day democracy is largely a mirage designed to make people only think they have a major say-so in the direction of this country, and I don't think you need to be a fringe type conspiracy theorist to feel that way. To the contrary, the average citizen's participation is relegated to the choices given to you by the two most established parties. Democracy in theory is supposed to be about checks and balances, and freedom to chose, but not necessarily about diversity as it pertains to choice in modern times.
I get that and accept that the two party system is likely here to stay, but the one last bastion of choice that apears to be on its deathbed, is the primaries. One of the things that I found intriguing about Obama's rise was that he stole the primaries off of Hillary in 2008. This time around, I'm not sure there will even be primaries for the Democrats. Or at the least it's yet another mirage providing a process for people to believe they're participating in. I mean its pretty much a given that she's the nominee for the blue team. On another note, does she even need that kind of bread considering who she is? She's going to recieve coverage regardless of that 2.5 billion. Her campaign will likely be a lot like Mayweather vs. Pacquiao in that the sh!t sells itself. You mean to tell me that a significant part of that 2.5 billion couldn't have gone towards more noble goals?
Is this remotely possible ?
Whether she spends it is one thing, but according to legitimate sources online, she's either planning on raising that much or has already met the goal. I believe the reality is they plan on raising that much, I'm not so sure they've hit the mark yet. The NY Times link at the bottom indicates that it's a plan and you know how it is online, a plan becomes a reality in some minds. I thought she already raised that much but they intend to do so. Time will tell if that happens.

If she manages to actually raise 2.5 billion... imagine the percentage of that she will pocket.
