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.

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)

I don’t believe it....she hasn’t done sh**
I’ve made that same comparison myself....I don’t remember if I’ve done it on FR though.

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?
That alone should prove we don’t need or want her running the. country!
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.
Well you know, it takes a village to elect an idiot.
Wouldn’t it be great if he could run the government the same way?
