So find any more of your non-maxed out fatcat buddies of yours to donate?

Thought so. She's done.

Too early again.

Her running out of money would be the last thing I expect. Plus she is also personally good for 200 million. I think she'll be ok in that department...and don't forget the people that want to buy her...plenty of those out there.

well those dollars was spend and how many votes did it produce. Hillary got a much larger bang for the dollar.

And despite throwing more money than Clinton into the campaigns Sanders has less for the bang.

She'll be dead broke and begging for money by June.

Sorry, can't help you there - when you couldn't even outraise Bernie with you, your SuperPACs and your illegal funds shifting operation.

Clinton is nothing but a Ponzi scheme.

I am sure there are ways of manipulating that. Lots of other things have been manipulated. It amuses me to have a campaign so loaded with money say they are out of money. I understand it is the rules -- just amuses me.

Now if Hillary is getting money from the banks must be Sanders is getting money from the banks also. Hillary still raises money for Down Ticket candidates and still has money on hand. Looks like her managers are doing a really good job. Her team is getting everything she needs to get the votes and delegates, the object of a campaign.

She is still working and will continue to work hard.

asked people to help retire her campaign debt.

Personally, if a candidate spends that much more money than he or she has, I have no sympathy.

Citizens United will make sure of that. But I suspect more of her donors are maxed out than Sanders'.

She can also lend herself money if it comes to that.

because when she loses, as so many massively overfunded ambitious campaigns do,
she will have wasted how much money in the effort?
I know how much she really wants to help America get back on its feet,
just as soon as she is done serving King Abdullah's wishes.
