First ‘Rodham,’ now ‘Clinton’ missing from Hillary’s pitch

Campaign boss Robby Mook’s offer to supporters to donate just $5 to become a “founding donor” never refers to his candidate “Hillary Clinton.” It’s just Hillary.

“You’re all in to elect Hillary as our next president,” he wrote. “You’re proud to be one of the first people to get Hillary’s back in this race,” he added.

There is a link to “www.hillaryclinton.com/donate,” but that pushes fans to a contributor page that also doesn’t mention her last name.

“Be a Founding Donor of Hillary 2016,” it headlines. “Please send a personal check made payable to ‘Hillary for America,'” it adds.

In Mook’s first email announcing Clinton’s campaign he mentioned “Hillary Clinton” twice. She also signs her homepage “Hillary Rodham Clinton.”

Like his name, husband Bill Clinton has been largely absent during her two-week campaign rollout. It was news this week, for example, when two reporters came across the former president out for a hike.

Below is the latest email:
