Hillary is using her victory speech to beg for money. This doesn't project the kind of triumphant, "yes we can" attitude that I think you want when you're claiming that there is some marginal possibility you might get your party's nomination.

Sure it does. "Yes we can" raise enough money to win. If she already had the money, it would be "yes we could."
Sort of like you picking on somebody to get more hits.
