    Some high-profile candidates saddled with debt get creative.

    Democrat Hillary Clinton, for one, paid down $22.5 million in campaign debt from her 2008 campaign through a multi-pronged approach that included selling leftover campaign trinkets, offering face time President Bill Clinton and renting the personal information of her campaign supporters to other Democrats and private data brokers. Clinton’s 2008 committee paid off its debts by 2013 — just in time for Clinton to announce another White House run in the 2016 election cycle.
