"SNIP.............
A collection of top GOP operatives, financed by prominent Republican donors, is launching two new groups to take aim at Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The groupsFuture45, a super PAC, and 45Committee, an issue-advocacy organizationare designed to seize on issues that emerge in the campaign or comments Mrs. Clinton makes and quickly assemble ads that will run both online and on television. Organizers are hoping the groups will become something of an experimental, quick-strike vehicle to see what messages and tactics work.

(30,481 posts)People don't seem to get how much appearance matters. Hillary has the largest and most impressive network of any current campaign, is bringing in more money than everyone except a republican or two(I think), is having an amazing month that would be difficult to top politically, has name recognition across the globe, is married to a former President, etc; and this crap they pull gives the appearance that Hillary is the underdog.
Do they not get it yet? Republicans attacking her, a segment on the left is attacking her, conservative groups are forming before we even get to the general to take her down, and so on. She holds her head up and instead of fading away she just gets stronger. Like her or not it paints a powerful picture. It's amazing they work their buts off to give an extremely powerful person the appearance of possessing underdog status. It has to drive people nuts.
