To everyone who pitched in this first quarter.
Friend —
I am so excited to announce this, I couldn’t wait one more minute:
In the first quarter of this campaign, thanks to generous supporters like you, we raised more than $45 million — a new record for this early in a campaign.
That is huge. It’s the result of hundreds of thousands of you stepping up to stand with Hillary from the very beginning. Many people doubted whether we could build an organization powered by so many grassroots supporters. Today’s announcement proves them wrong.
We’re still running the numbers, and we’ll be in touch again soon to tell you a little more about the incredible group of people (like you) who’ve chipped in to support this campaign. Stay tuned for that.
But even as we celebrate this great news, we can’t get complacent. Between now and July 15th, our opponents are required to announce their fundraising numbers, too. Some of the Republicans are rumored to have raised $100 million into their war chests, every penny of which they’ll use to tear down our campaign and strengthen theirs. So we need to keep working.
To prepare ourselves against this kind of onslaught, we’re going to continue to do this the right way: by building a campaign with the broadest possible base of support, driven by people chipping in what they can, whether it’s $1, $27, or $2,700. So I think it’s fair to say you can expect a few more fundraising emails from me over the course of this campaign. But, at least for today, I hope you take a minute to appreciate a job well done. This is your campaign and your record.
Thank you. I’m so glad we’re doing this together.
Robby

Now what was it the media was sobbing on about all week – some enthusiasm gap… well, we put our money where our hearts are and back up what we say with our wallets. Whatever our girl needs to hang on to a third Dem term for the first time in 70 years.

The best Hillary internet story of the week: Santa the hairdresser
“Turns out it’s Santa Nikkels, her hairdresser in Chappaqua, N.Y., where the Clintons live. “I’m seeing Santa at 8:30 so won’t take off until closer to 9:30,” Clinton emailed aide Huma Abedin. “Is that ok?” Clinton also planned around a hair appointment two months later. “The timing, however, is hard for a visit since I need to see Santa around 7:45 after seeing Lisa,” she wrote.”
So all this intrigue and Gowdy, and the media investigating her emails and this mysterious person who met with Hillary secretly for god-knows-what-evil-deed…
Was Santa Nikkels, hairdresser of Chaapaqua!
Our tax dollars hard at work uncovering these things in congressional hearings. They are back to investigating “Socks the cat” type stories again.

If you go to the archives here for the date of that first “Santa”email, you see that this was shortly after she went back to DC after surgery under general anesthesia for her broken elbow. She was unable to do her own hair and for awhile could not put her contacts in. She wore glasses her first week back,

We remember that coat!
“When another aide, P. J. Crowley, complimented a coat she had been photographed wearing during a trip to Afghanistan — “its favorability rating was 77 percent,” he said about an online poll it inspired — she replied: “Thx! I bought the coat in Kabul in 03 and thought it should get a chance to go home for a visit!!””
She has such a great and charming sense of humor. Coat paid visit. Too cute.
