Ready or Not, here Hillary Comes: Bill-ion dollar baby, million dollar maybe

            Complicated, heart breaking story of an ambitious, sensitive woman and her relationship with Bills. Bill C. broke her heart and betrayed her in front of the entire nation. Now, Bill M. publicly denies her $1 million of moral support. 
           Bills have failed her in the past, but now, she needs bills more than ever before; especially the large $100 bills - and roughly $2.7 Bill-ion to fulfill her destiny and get her revenge! 

Million Dollar? Maybe - Billion Dollar Lady 


Just two days ago it was announced that the announcement officially announcing Hillary Clinton's bid for the white house will be given on 4/12.  On 4/10 Bill Maher made announcement of his own "Hillary Clinton has my vote but she's not getting a million dollar check"; unlike Mr Obama who got both. Will that deter Hillary from entering the contest? You will find out tomorrow when she announces that she is ready! Real cliffhanger. Spoiler Alert: anonymous sources report that she is ready and that she will run! According to some estimates the 2016 presidential campaign is expected to come with a record high price-tag of $5 billion. Henceforth, the one million dollar Bill (Maher, not Clinton) proudly and defiantly denies Ms Clinton will make  "whopping" 0.02% of a difference in the overall fundraising. Koch brothers are readying $889 million for the 2016 political campaign "buck" swinging contest. Ready, $et, go! Tomorrow Hillary Clinton will announce her bid for the presidency - bid like ... ebay bid. Historically, candidate with more money wins the White House. Overall money is the best predictor of who wins elections in the US - better than any other social, economic, and statistical indicator. How good is money in predicting electoral outcomes? 91% kinda good. In 2010, the Supreme Court of the U.S. upgraded "We the People ..." to the "We the People: Version 2.0". According to the court's ruling in the Citizens United "corporations are people too." Ever since 2010 we the people includes "the people" people and "the corporations" people - both with inalienable right to donate money to political campaigns. In April 2014 the SCOTUS "removed the cap on the total amount of money donors can contribute to candidates and parties in each election" (donors=  "The People Version 2.0"). It is a great news for campaign financing. In 2016 money has a chance of becoming even better predictor of electoral success! Actually, the entire electoral process can be made more efficient and streamlined by posting public offices on e-bay - going to the highest bidder! With predicted $5 billion 2016 elections American democracy enters the big time: there's room for big money, big business, big ambitions, super pacs, and super egos.  There must certainly be some room left for the little people.
