Clinton Loans Herself $6.4 Million

This was an enlightening article about Hilary Clinton's campaign finances. While I was under the impression candidates usually raised money from outside sources (politicians, supportive businesses, corporations, citizens, fund raisers, etc.), this article describes Clinton's massive "donations" to her own cause. While it is normal for politicians to use some of their own money for funding, Clinton has so far "donated" $11.4 Million to her own cause. As an article, I found that it was well written and did not appear biased at all. Although it was not opinionated, I do feel the author recognized Clinton's finances as a problem because of the actual facts presented. After describing Hillary's loans, the article goes on to state the timeline in which it occurred, making it a point to state that she must continue to do this because she keeps losing support.
