    That’s true, and if their had been a normal primary I doubt shoe would have gotten $200 million to run.

    When she was the one to go against Trump it was the only choice. Easy to raise money when you’re going against one of the most hated POTUS candidates in the modern era.
    I know much was small donations, same people that donate their nickels and dimes in churches every week.

    Except she wasn't the only choice. The delegates could support anybody. Yet, people donated an insane amount of money to her, and the delegates chose to back her. Because she handled the situation masterfully.

    That's reality. You can talk out of your hindquarters about some hypothetical primary all you'd like. I'm speaking on reality here. Consolidating support before anybody could meaningfully challenge her is simply good politics. There was an open convention, and she won it. That is a fact.
