Official or not Hillary Clinton builds a massive 2016 team-in-waiting - The Washington Post


At this point, without so much as an announcement, she has settled on — at the least — a campaign chairman, a campaign manager, a chief strategist and lead pollster, another pollster, a lead media adviser, a communication director, a deputy communications director, a focus group director and a communications strategist.

She is also closing in on a New York City campaign headquarters and a date to make all of this official.

Some senior staff are signing on without nailing down the usual conditions of a new job, such as a salary or starting date. Recruitment is being led by White House senior adviser John Podesta and manager-designate Robby Mook, with Clinton making many of the final decisions herself.

Clinton faces no competition for Democratic campaign talent and is said to prefer to wait as long as possible to begin campaigning, but she has assured senior advisers that she would put the legal framework of a campaign in place this spring.

-and-


Jim Messina, who helped engineer Clinton’s downfall in 2008 as a senior aide to Obama’s campaign, now runs a super PAC devoted to supporting her in 2016. “It’s her turn and her time,” he said on MSNBC this week. “We’re going to do whatever it takes to make sure she’s the president of the United States.”

No Republicans now moving toward active candidacies can say that they are as far along in staffing their upper ranks with the kind of experienced people whom Clinton is bringing aboard. She’s also locking in wealthy donors and has a head start on other ground organizing and fundraising because of the efforts of outside groups supporting her.


-and-


Much of the political machinery that helped get Obama elected twice has already swung behind a Clinton candidacy — adding to the feel of quasi-incumbency.

Podesta is advising her unofficially and is expected to become the campaign chairman. He has already announced that he will leave the White House within weeks. White House communications director Jennifer Palmieri is expected to assume the same title for the Clinton campaign in March or April.

Collectively, Clinton’s team represents a break from the past. With few exceptions, none of the new team played the most senior roles in her 2008 campaign, and many worked actively against her as part of the Obama operation. More hiring is underway, filling out press, research, digital, political, field and other departments.

Clinton is revamping her communications and press strategy after a 2008 campaign marked by toxic relations between the campaign and the press. Joel Benenson, an Obama pollster now serving as a chief Clinton adviser, Palmieri and Podesta all have good relationships with reporters.

I have no doubt that she is running. She is building a mega-team, and quite early.
 
This should be Hillary's symbol.

But will she be able to pay her mortgages if she runs?

Most presidents lose money while in office but hey, Bill has made a bundle and I bet he'd share.
i Doubt he has any left after giving it
It's her race to lose boys, her time, sorry...

Nah It's really pathetic that the democrats can only run a retread, old battle axe like shillary. Dems should be embarrassed.
Next up, Jeb Boosh.....

Oh, just like the Republicans ran that re-tread Ronald Reagan in 1980, right?

Tsk, tsk. You own party's electoral history is biting you in the ass for that statement right now.
 
Hillary and Bill: Two for the price of one!
Go a head and run her she has more baggage than any candidate in history. You know all those politically correct college students liberals has been producing? You really think they would vote for someone who tried to hide all of Bill's sexual assaults? Lol, liberalism might just do us a favor. Chris Rock says he won't even preform on college campuses anymore. Because they get offended. Lol, go ahead and run the bitch.

Well they won't vote for whatever troglodyte that finally emerges from your God Hates Fags process. They might be stupid kids but they aren't that stupid.
