Sorry...blindly following politicians is more of a Republican thing.

Big Rewards Await Clinton If She Ends Campaign Now - Politics on The Huffington Post

And I can't find any examples either. But she has this option, which of course would immediately mark her as an incompetent boob and any chance of future office holding above dog catcher would end.

The campaign can declare bankruptcy.

What happens to Hillary Clinton's campaign debt when the primaries are over? - By Jacob Leibenluft - Slate Magazine

I also thought of this scenario. Some kind hearted individual or campaign might extend a loan to her campaign for which the enforcement of repayment might be lax, if you know what I mean. But I don't know if that's legal. I don't know how loans are handled in campaign financing.

Lots of people have been saying it. But it seems that it is one of those things that someone makes up so that they sound smart and everyone else just keeps repeating it.

I'll happily stand corrected if someone finds and example but until then I have to believe that it is just a feckless attempt at getting paid for a bad lay! If Obama folks do ANYTHING they should agree to match at 50 cents on the dollar what the hillary folks come up with! They wanted this to go on----they need to be accountable!

Don't start out failing to hold people accountable!

Does it make a difference that Obama's asked his top fundraisers to help pay off her campaign debt but not her personal 10 million dollar loan?

This is what I said before, along the lines of:

As long as her personal loans aren't being paid back by Obama, what's the harm in helping her out?

The only problem is that right now the DNC is about 45 million behind the RNC and they are not going to give us the office without the fight of a lifetime.

Every penny is going to count.

I don't know that we can afford to bail Hillary out of a hole she dug for herself at this point.

Maybe she should have trialed her "pay go" plan in her campaign offices.

Worse than that, she blew that dough out her ass for the purpose of smear and character assassination. And still wants the victim to pay for it.

She is more delusional than I thought!
