And this idea that they are following her lead seems manufactured.
This report is based on an email exchange with a campaign op, not
an official announcement.
It’s Howard Wolfson, not some low-level hack.
And her website is still soliciting contributions within the
limits, as if that were still an option, and she’s still officialy
hedging her bets just like everyone else.
Here’s what the LAT story says: “On her campaign website, Clinton
suggests that donors give her $2,100 for the primary and another
$2,100 for the general — a sign that she won’t seek matching funds in
the general election. Candidates who take public money in the general
election must forgo fundraising.”
People really love to hate her, across the political spectrum.
She’s a uniter!
And for good reason. Sam Smith recalls Hillary on capital punishment
from the early 1990s:
“We go back and forth on the issues of due process and the
disproportionate minorities facing the death penalty, and we have
serious concerns in those areas. We also abhor the craze for the
death penalty. But we believe it does have a role.”
