Figured out the SCAM yet? |
|
Okay, so you're Hillary Clinton.
Your campaign is $10 million in debt.
You're out $5 million to the campaign.
So what do you do?
Quit the race and lose $5 million of your won money?
Quit the race and be out a total of $15 million, since you still owe $10 million?
Or, do you "stay in the fight" and inflate expectations with fuzzy math until you manage to raise $15 million or so...?
Too bad her supporters are going to pay so much more yet...all those "blue collar" folks, who can surely afford their fair share of Clinton's debt, eh?
WHY SHOULD SHE PAY IT WHEN SHE CAN JUST STAY IN THE RACE AND HAVE THEM PAY IT?

2. The Hillbots, of course |

Her corporate donors probably won't help her anymore. They'll be going with McLoony.

If they like just flat out giving the 109M dollar Clintons money for their bank account, they should absolutely do that.

8. If numerically she cannot win then why else stay in, from a practical standpoint? |
|
Ego-wise, I get it. But ego is hardly ever practical, and I don't see her as an entirely unpractical person, nor is Bill.
I think sometime last month she figured out the delegate numbers would be against her, no matter her performance in PA (win by 10 or 20 points), and she was STILL IN DEBT - and out $5 million of her own cash.
So she's doing the "practical" thing - in her mind, at least - getting supporters to foot the bills - and then getting out.
