Hillary Clinton spent roughly 90 percent of the money she raised over the summer

Democratic presidential contender Hillary Rodham Clinton raced through millions of dollars over the summer as she expanded her campaign’s ground operations and launched a paid television campaign, spending around nine out of every 10 dollars she raised in the third quarter.

Clinton pulled in more than $28 million and spent an estimated $24.8 million, for a burn rate of about 88.7 percent, based on early numbers released by her campaign. As of Sept. 30, she still had more than $32 million on hand, campaign spokesman Josh Schwerin said in a tweet Thursday.

That gives her a small financial cushion over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who raised $26 million and had $26.5 million left in the bank heading into October. But Sanders only spent an estimated $11.6 million -- less than one out of every two dollars he raised -- showing how far he has been able to take his insurgent bid with a relatively lean operation.

... and now she has to get to work raising more money doing what she knows best ... like putting another lug on George Soros ... begging for alms from Hollyweird ... pandering to the unions ... selling secrets to the ChiCom's ... investing in cattle futures ... writing another non-selling book ... shaking down universities for speaking fees ... and starting another phony foundation!

Well, she DID have to pay for that face lift.

Think about all the the planning, logistics, structural engineering, and scaffolding, that had to go in to such an effort.

Gotta love how all these candidates laud the amounts of money they’ve been bought-out with as if it’s a GOOD thing!

How? Where? That scofflaw has no campaign. She's phoning it in. Doing what she does best, making other people's money disappear.

The question is, what did she do with the 6b that disappeared from the State Dept when she was there.

Think THE PRODUCERS

She knows she is going down. So she makes it appears she is spending all her campaign money, but is she really?

Who audits the books for a failed campaign?

Maybe....but my guess is that “loyalty” that was once freely given now comes at a very dear price indeed now.

She’s in very deep trouble - a lot despite what anyone connected with her campaign or lawyer/ghoul team says.

The nail is when Loretta Lynch finally speaks.

“Hillary Clinton STOLE roughly 90 percent of the money she raised over the summer”

Fixed it.

Like any good Democrat, she is adept at spending other people’s money.

“The question is, what did she do with the 6b that disappeared from the State Dept when she was there”.

Anything we can speculate on is probably part of the truth on that one.

Plus the blowtorching, sandblasting, and toxic waste removal before they could even get started.
