Wannabees

From WaPo this morning.  Campaign funds raised in millions of dollars.

Perry------17
Jindal------ 9
Cruz-------51
Rubio-----45
Huckabee -8
2nd quarter only
Clinton ----47.5
Sanders----15
O’Malley--  2
Santorum -0.6
Menendez 1.5
Trump  --  1.8 borrowed from himself.
Totaling almost 200 million dollars.  And it is a year and a quarter before the election.

If this doesn’t make you sick, you probably don't much care about what is going on in our country.  If it doesn’t make you mad, you have better self-control than I.

Update 7/17  WAPO HIGHLIGHTS:
— Clinton burns through millions as she assembles a political battleship,” by Matea Gold and Anu Narayanswamy: “Clinton’s organization has spent nearly $19 million — or 40 percent of the $47 million it raised in its first quarter, a year and a half before the 2016 election.

Is it me, or this getting worse?

Lin, posted an update here this morning. I think that if it is you, it is you and me, and the truth is yes, things have been bad in the past, but I think we've seen nothing yet.
