So yes, after dropping over $1 billion and failing so miserably there will be questions, and a slew of answers, on how this went so poorly – or rather, make that “so disastrously” instead. (“Poorly” is bad form after that lavish spending.) At the Washington Examiner, Gabe Kaminsky looked over some of the financials from the campaign and there are revelations that abound. One issue is with the expanse of payroll, where she managed to outspend Trump at a clip of over $55 million, while his total came in under $10 million; he won while using hundreds fewer employees. //

The campaign dropped $100,000 to build the rather tepid set of the show in a hotel room.

This figure pales when you see other expenses, such as the $15 million dropped on the celebrity-choked election eve rally, but it displays so much of the horrid decision-making. Why did an interview like this need a set built when a couple of cameras would suffice for a podcast format? //

They didn't spend it. They laundered it.
