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.

Nope. The nail was in when ValJar spoke. Loretta Lynch was simply greenlighted for a decision already made.

I understand. But the official trigger for the media to me is Loretta. That signals the pile-on.

She has been a thief all of her life, so one must assume she hasn’t changed.

Who audits the books for a failed campaign?

Good question. But, the way they continue to run, run, and run again with little hope of really winning tells ya something. (Rs and Ds alike)

Good point. The post-op clean-up alone probably cost millions.

I’ve made that same comparison myself....I don’t remember if I’ve done it on FR though.

“Don’t put your own money in the show.” - very few political candidates are self-funded.
About 25% of broadway shows make a profit. About 25% of congressional candidates win.

Didn’t she save money riding in that stupid van and eating at Chipotle’s?

All she seems to be doing is wining, dining, avoiding real people and their questions and lying abut the server. And not debating.

I mean, what the...?!

She is DOING NOTHING.

How much of the donated dough goes to Huma Abedin, the Muslim Brotherhood scion and propagandist who operates in the U.S. at Hillary Clinton’s side and has been by her side since the Clinton White House?

Actually there are a huge number of crony staffers on the payroll. So there is a lot of cash flow. Over 300 so far and a lot of them make big salaries.

Wouldn’t it be great if he could run the government the same way?

Yeah, milking those steady paychecks for as long as they can until it runs out, then on to the next trough.
