Clinton debt larger than reported

Hillary Clinton's campaign debt at the end of March was bigger than it appeared because she didn't list the $5 million she loaned herself, a campaign finance watchdog group reported this afternoon.

Clinton, in her filing with the Federal Election Commission, reported that her campaign had $9 million in cash on hand as of March 30, and $10 million in debts.

I think that's because she probably has the option of not repaying that. I'm willing to kick in some $ as long as she agrees to stay in the race to the convention. I don't want her dropping out like some candy ass. If she wants to be a loser, let her run her losing campaing all the way to an ignoble end in Denver.

The point was that the FEC smacked the back of her hand for not reporting it on the front page as they are required to do. She was trying to down play her debts.

She doesn't have to pay herself back but she can't hide that she has this debt.
