She's campaigning hard, I'll give her that. So where is the money coming from at this point?

3. What ain't comin' out of her own pockets is simply going unpaid. She's $20,000,000 in debt.

5. Majority of votes came from soft support, LIV, and those who have since
changed their minds.

Grassroots is astroturf in nature......set up to have 350 netroot supporters look like millions via optical illusion and extra loud shouting.

6. The majority of those voters don't or can't give money to campaigns!
The FIRST candidate I ever gave $$ to was Howard Dean, and I was 60 years old at the time! I really believed in him, and I managed to scrape together $10 on 3 different occasions. If the BS in the media is TRUE and most of Hill's supporters are older, and blue collar, they're not going to be campaign donors!

7. My question: How can we expect Hillary to raise money for the general?
I know she has money put away for the general, but would it be enough? Isn't it only 20 million or something like that? Who's to say she doesn't struggle raising money in the general?

Remember Gore's blackout in the summer of 2000 that put him way back in the polls? That was a big reason why he lost, because he played catch-up the entire damn time.
