Hillary Rodham Clinton ended January with $7.6 million in debt — not including the $5 million personal loan she gave to her campaign in the run-up to the critical Super Tuesday elections, according to financial reports released Wednesday.
Well that certainly is a shock. I assumed that she was better off then she is.
So, where did the money go?
She'd blazed through most of it — spending $11 million on ads, $3.8 million on messaging guru Mark Penn and $1,300 at Dunkin' Donuts, to name just a few expenditures — leaving her campaign woefully unprepared for an extended battle for the Democratic presidential nomination.
$1,300 a Dunkin' Donuts. Let that sink in. $1,300...in Doughnuts. What's worse is that this is the kind of fiscal responsibility that Hillary has shown with her own campaign funds, what do you suppose she would be doing if she were President? How do you suppose her "Universal Health Care" would be doing if she's spending faster then she can earn it?
We'd be bankrupt, that's where.
And what's worse for her, is people are noticing what I've assumed a while ago, she underestimated her competition and made assumptions that didn't pan out. No "Plan B" if you will. If she doesn't have a "Plan B" for her Presidential campaign, she sure as hell wouldn't have a "Plan B" if things got bad for us. Not Presidential material if you ask me.
She simply did not have the cash to compete in the post-Feb. 5 states, mostly because her campaign spending blueprint was built around two flawed premises: that no one would be able to match her fundraising and that the nomination would be decided on Super Tuesday.
