Hillary's speech.
This is not an attack on Hillary. I am just puzzled about why she didn't concede tonight and what she is hoping to achieve. Let us grant her some respect: she is not delusional, is very experienced politically, and is highly intelligent. She knows she has lost. So what is going on here?

1. Her campaign is in the red. She's out nearly $12 million.
An active campaign is a license to solicit funds. I think her finances are a huge part of her motives.

2. She's got friends and $100 million plus of her own.
Obama sure doesn't owe her a cent after her disgraceful performance.

3. The $109 million is her income over 7 years, not her net worth.
No... I don't believe Obama owes her anything, either.

4. So, she wants a few more kids to sell their bikes so she can pay back her loans to herself?

9. Ya gotta have a lot of dough to be a good majority leader.
You can use it to help your friends get elected.

6. Money and power
She wants her debts paid off and to be put on the ticket. If Obama helps her fundraise (not out of his direct campaign money) I don't care. As for the ticket: HELL NO!

7. Convention?
I don't think she'll quit, it's like her life depends on it.

8. IMO, there's no PRO-PARTY valid excuse for HRC not conceding last night.
Only a delusional narcissist would have behaved as craven as HRC did last night. :thumbsdown:
