Don’t Kid Yourself, It’s ALL About the Money
Hillary Clinton made a direct appeal yesterday to the world for more donations. What was that you ask? You thought Hillary dropped out of the race? Well, she did. But she’s in debt. Of the $22.5 million of unpaid campaign debts, $12 million is owed to Hillary Clinton. She financed the tail end of her campaign when funds were running low. That didn’t seem to work out so well. I’m not going to get into politics here and which candidate I like or dislike (I dislike all of them). I would like to talk about the pure chutzpah/cajones/gaul of Hillary Clinton to ask for more money.
Let’s say I was a donor to Clinton’s campaign. I’ve given money to help Clinton get into office. I never expect to see a penny back from that donation. Whether Clinton wins or loses, my donation was just that, a donation towards a cause that I believed in. But now, the candidate that I gave my hard earned money to is asking for more. And why? So she can get her money back. What about the money I gave?! How come Hillary isn’t giving donors back money from HER pockets? This is how I would feel if I was a donor (which I am not).
She’s got some nerve. But I’m not surprised. She’s a politician. It all comes back to watching their own backs, and watching their own bank accounts. Don’t kid yourself. It’s ALL about the money.

Actually, if you read/watch/hear anything that she has stated, you will notice that she isn’t trying to get back the $12 Million that she loaned her campaign, she is trying to get back the other $10.5 Million so she can pay the people who are owed money from her campaign.
