Clintons in debt to $20 million

When running for the most powerful job in world, allegedly! You would have thought that the candidates may have had some sort of grounding in how to run an effective campaign, these cost huge amounts of cash, which is where the fundraising comes in.

Yet, despite having been given millions of dollars from her backers, it turns out that Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton is currently looking at $20 million worth of debt and there is still a fair way to go!

With such huge amounts of cash that are required to just get the party nomination, that’s without the race to the White House. How can these politicians be in charge of a country the size of the states?

It’s understandable that their system is different from ours, but with all that cash and debt its no wonder that some of the candidates simply fade away.
