You think the media wants to lose those Clinton millions (billions?) - nope.
This is where so much of the campaign chest goes. People talk about how much a candidate raises, but look where that money goes - the media. They are not going to let go of it. A candidate's views or worth is totally totally immaterial.
Look at how much media attention Trump gets. Trump will spend a lot of money.
