I’m sure this guy is the tip of the iceberg. There are probably thousands of vendors just like him waiting to be paid. And poor Hillary is broke. If they though Monicagate was expensive, they ain’t seen nothing yet. I guess Bill will just have to spend a few more years on the road wagging his finger.

Do business with a democrat and get screwed and I’m supposed to feel sorry for you?

Maybe Obama will pay her bills—on the condition she quit and & STFU. Hell, it would be worth every penny.

If she quits now, I’ll pay the deli bill.

I’ve been in the promotional products business for 20+ years. I’ve absolutely never sold to political campaigns.

The only way to do it is demand payment up front. Since one isn’t going to get that.....

Anyone in business knows the risk of selling to political campaigns. Yes, we can pick on Hillary. But realistically, if ya want to play poker, ya can’t complain when ya lose.

When you give credit to (what turns out to be) the losing candidate, you are likely to go unpaid.

Ask for the money up front or don’t deal with them. If you give them credit, then shut up when you don’t get paid.

"It is attacking Hillary. Any attack on Non-Obama will do, now."

Is the NY Times attempting to switch their endorsement of Hillary over to Obama?!

A couple of weeks ago there was a segment on the local Iowa TV news that the witch owed money in DM, too. They had been promised payment but I don’t know if it’s ever arrived.

I believe so, if not formally.

I knew a small business owner who printed fliers, hand outs etc for candidates running for office.

His credit policy for those people was very simple, cash in advance.

That county was Republican ( 2 democrats elected to county offices in the last 80 years )

Yes, that's true.

But it doesn't matter if it is the Hildabeast. The guy was stupid for giving credit to a political campaign. That's like loaning money to a relative or friend. It ain't a loan, it's a gift.

Your post was exactly what I was thinking, although my only political business experience is photographing a few candidates for their campaigns.

IMHO, anybody who extends credit to someone in show business or politics is naive or foolish.

There's a reason politicians set up their campaigns as separate business entities. You might as well make an investment in someone who's going to Vegas to gamble.

“And she wants to manage the biggest economy on earth??” Good point! I wondered, should she get elected, if she would bring with her all the White House items she and Wee Willie took when they departed.
