So the question is probably moot (or "mute" as my brother would say).

Unlike your candidate that spent 5 years and leaned heavily on PBO's kindness to pay off her debts:

Bernie Sanders' campaign had less than $6 million at the start of May, a critical cash shortage as he makes an admittedly tough final play to wrest the Democratic presidential nomination from Hillary Clinton.

He is being investigated for campaign finance irregularities
Feds flag Bernie Sanders campaign contributions

And most invoices come with a thirty day payment due period.
I am sure our heroine will treat him with dignity when she helps him retire his debt.

Such a big deal is made of campaign finance issues but mistakes are often made in elections and they rarely are all that significant and so far have never kept a person from being president:

He has no debt. All his bills are paid at time of service. He has not waited for 30 day billing cycle yet.
