Ignorant question
She had to lend money to her campaign, simply because she didnt have enough coming in, period. Has nothing to do with mismanagement, just lack of funds

No grass roots support for her campaign.
She won’t.
Obama’s campaign should be an example for all candidates to follow and a good example of the type of people he will surround himself with.

I agree, that’s a very valid point.
“Clinton had $10 million in unpaid bills — ranging from consultants’ fees to catering costs — at the end of March. The New York senator also has loaned her struggling campaign more than $11 million.
“The problem is: Who wants to give money to a candidate who’s not the nominee?” said Dennis Johnson, who teaches political management at George Washington University”
I also have to agree with the statement from Dennis Johnson, as well.

because she knows how to con people to giving it back to her, she pretend to give them gas tax holiday, then sticks out her hand, crying poor me, they have millons, and that is only what we know about

Just a preview of how things would be run. Spend money you don’t have. More of the same thing the Govt has been doing for years.

She accumulated the debt because she relied on fat-wallet contributors and thought the money coming in could keep up with the expenses – bad mistake. That’s not the only mistake she made though:
