An ad popped up on my Comcast email page

[Divernan]

Big head and shoulders photo of Hillary in bright red jacket -

"Say you're with Hillary

We have to take on gun violence in America. Sign up if you agree! "

and requesting your name, zip code and email address.


What was really interesting? Look who's on the "joint fundraising committee of the Hillary Victory Fund, which paid for the ad.

Paid for by Hillary Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee authorized by Hillary for America, the Democratic National Committee and the State Democratic Parties in these states: AK, AR, CO, FL, GA, ID, IN, KY, LA, ME, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NV, NH, NC, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WV, WI, and WY.

I wasn't aware that my state democratic committee (PA) had endorsed Hillary, but looks like they have.

So when the Hill fans post that she raised $5 million for state Democrats, are they talking about these state Dem. parties, which turn around and spend the money promoting her and collecting email addresses for her? How slick! How Clintonesque!

1. Aren't those mostly red States?

2. Yes, but not Pennsylvania

7. Maine is considered a Blue state

We just have a crazy Tea Party governor and our wonderfully "moderate" senator Susan Collins. Hopefully, sanity will return soon.

3. Looks that way...

"...The first $2,700/$5,000 from an individual/multicandidate committee (“PAC”) will be allocated to Hillary for America, designated for the primary election. The next $33,400/$15,000 from an individual/PAC will be allocated to the Democratic National Committee. Additional amounts from an individual/PAC will be split equally among the Democratic state parties from these states up to $10,000/$5,000 per state party: AK, AR, CO, FL, GA, ID, IN, KY, LA, ME, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NV, NH, NC, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WV, WI, and WY."

4. To answer your question, yes.

They are claiming money raised that is followed by a check for the same amount to the DNC.

5. At least it didn't say "YOU MAY HAVE WON $10,000!"

6. What that list of states tell me is "No wonder those states are Republican"

And those will be the people counting the votes also.

9. You know what it says to me?

It tells me that the DNC is sending money mostly to the states that don't have a snowball's chance in hell of going Dem.

That frees them up to kick the $$$ back to Hillary. That little disclaimer underscores how stupid they think we are.
