When it comes to raising dollars, no point in wasting time
It's not surprising that Hillary Clinton's schedule for Sunday contains no public events. It's been a busy week: a campaign event in New York Tuesday night (headlined by billionaire Warren Buffett), a candidate forum Thursday night at Howard University in Washington, a similar gathering today in Orlando before Latino leaders, the continuing hunt for money to fuel her presidential bid and lots of action in her day job in the Senate.
