Could THIS Be Why Clinton Cannot Concede? (It's About The Money.)

Clearly Hillary's campaign is deep, deep in debt. She's also given her campaign over $10 million.

If she stops right now, what happens. She stays in debt.

If she makes it past June 3rd, does that mean she's made into the General Election?

And if she makes it to the GE, doesn't that mean she has access to the money in her GE fund?

Ca-ching!

1. I don't think the laws set up

regarding the funding apply to someone that is behind in delegates, but maybe they didn't think ahead to this situation, so you may be right.

I am concerned it's something more sinister that keeps her about...

3. I wondered whether she wants a big war chest for some other purpose,

such as to give to other dems in an effort to become Senate Prez. :shrug:

4. If you're right, wouldnt it be smarter to suspend her campaign?

From what I understand a suspension is a technicality that keeps the books open so she could still do fundraising, but at least she wouldnt continue adding debt by actively campaigning.

9. It all depends on the rules - the campaign finance laws.

But that GE fund is probably holding alot of money.

There is a reason why every Dem party leader keeps pointing to the week after June 3rd.

6. You didn't really believe

that other thread that says she's 30 million in debt, did you?

It was started by an ignoramus who can't read a financial statement.

8. She needs access to that GE fund.

So if she spends 5 million but she'll get 25 million, that's a good investment.

10. Do you have any idea of what a AAA bond @ 6.5% pays on 100 million dollars?

*gasp*
