He’s taking tough blows for what he got done in MA and at times I’m sure he knew things he did or said would come back to haunt him. He was willing to say and do in MA what it took to get elected and deliver on the promises to those who funded him.

Personally, I don’t think she’s running, at least not for the long haul. However, yeah, she can fundraise like a boss.
