Hillary Clinton super PAC raised more than $25 million in last half of 2015

A super PAC aiding Democrat Hillary Clinton added $25 million to its coffers during the last six months of 2015 and has attracted $10 million more since the start of this year to boost Clinton's presidential ambitions.

In all, Priorities USA Action says it has taken in more than $50.5 million since Jan. 1, 2015 — a fundraising pace that far exceeds what the group collected at this point in the 2012 election cycle when it was organized as a vehicle to help re-elect President Obama.

Wealthy Democratic donors also have committed to donate another $42 million this year as they brace for heavy spending by GOP outside groups against the former secretary of State, officials said.

"Republicans have already started attacking Hillary Clinton," Guy Cecil, the committee's chief strategist said in a memo released Friday afternoon. "They are preparing a $1 billion campaign to deceive and distort her record for months on end. Priorities USA sees it as our responsibility to fight back early and often."

I am glad to see that we will be financially competitive with the Republicans in the GE. Republicans are reportedly raising 1 billion again to Hillary Clinton. Most of the recent donations to the PAC have come from unions like American Federation of Teachers.

Politics, and when she gets rid of Citizens United, those Super Pacs will be gone. Just get her to the WH and she will make sure to do everything her big donors don't want her to do!

And I believe in unicorns too!
