Why would Mrs Clinton really care about 30 million of campaign debts that she is not liable for, especially when the party as a whole got exactly what it wanted into the minds of the american people and perhaps even further afield ?

The Democratic Party is not a unifed party in the sense we, in the uk, are used too. They have a wide range of different views and people in the party. If they were in the UK they would encompass Labour, Lib Dem, and even a large section of the Tory party.
They cannot and do not control Primary politics, although it is convincable that two candidates could conspire to help each others normination they would not be able to do what you are suggesting. All of them were in it to win it.
Clinton Vs Obama spilt the party and has damaged their chances of winning in November. Clintons speechs are being used in republican ads and a lot of her supporters are not backing Obama.
Unless the Democratic Party have the worse advisers in the history of american politics, I think it is unlikely they planned it
