The Hillary Clinton Slush Fund: Dirty Tactics, Dirty Money

I predict that we will ultimately learn, in future disclosures, that the Hillary Clinton campaign today is functionally bankrupt. I predict we will also learn that she has loaned her campaign more money than has yet been disclosed.

With the latest revelations of Clinton friends and close supporters creating an independent campaign fund, which will ultimately be found to have violated campaign finance laws, we now see the union of dirty tactics, dirty money and desperation.

Let’s call it what it is: a Clinton slush fund run for the purpose of attempting to saturate the airwaves with negative attacks that a near-bankrupt campaign can no longer afford to fund itself.

Let’s be direct: The more Hillary Clinton keeps escalating her desperate demolition attacks, folks like myself will have no choice but to respond bluntly and directly because of the damage she is doing to the Democratic Party, not to mention her own future.

Hillary Clinton as CEO has been a disaster who has mismanaged more than $100 million, mismanaged whatever one calls her message, mismanaged political strategy and mismanaged political tactics. When voters reject her tactics and message, she is reduced to trying overturn the verdict of voters, and because her campaign money has been mismanaged, her friends have to create an independent slush fund using dirty money to finance dirty attacks.

It is wrong enough for a candidate who has so failed to excite the voters to be reduced to nothing more than a negative attack machine against the candidate who lifts voters through true leadership. Now the dirty tactics must be financed through dirty money in what I call a slush fund and what I predict the law will call a violation of campaign finance laws.

Hillary Clinton has learned nothing from the failures of her campaign. This effort is doomed. This campaign will soon be over. This slush fund of independent money to dump negative sludge on the airwaves will be seen by political historians as one of the last gasps of a sad campaign that began as a coronation and will end as a fiasco.
