Campaign aides, fundraisers or whatever going after the new Big Dog:
A top Clinton fundraiser took a jab at the rival. Obama “doesn’t have the sustainability and doesn’t have the ability to raise what the Clintons are able to raise,” said John Catsimatidis. “Regardless of what he reports, at the end of the day, the Clintons get the nomination.”
Here’s why they’re doing it: the Clinton donors who got railroaded into Hillary’s with-us-or-against-us warning now realize that they’ve made a terrible mistake. Clinton’s people told them that they would blow the field away and that she would be the inevitable nominee.
Problem is, they were wrong.
Now, Clinton’s people need to keep the lid on the container. So, go after Obama, say he can’t win, keep your donors in line. If you don’t, donors will give to Obama and leak it to the press so they can get on Obama’s good side.
This is what fear looks like, when you pick the wrong horse. Whether you own the horse, or merely placed a bet.
