Hillary Clinton's fundraising soars off Benghazi hearing

Democrat Hillary Clinton had the best fundraising hour of her presidential campaign right after the Benghazi hearing ended, her aides announced Friday.

Campaign officials said donations soared between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. Thursday. . . .

In all, the former secretary of State added 100,000 new donors in October, bringing her pool of contributors to more than 500,000 people, her campaign announced.

Donations of $250 or smaller accounted for 99% of the contributions Clinton’s campaign took in Thursday.

Just about everything they do hurts their own cause and helps Democrats.

and the tea zombies complain about conservative causes not being passed and then force all or nothing demands on their representatives so they consistently get nothing.
