Hi,
Could you please tell me what is the meaning of a stretch in the following text?
I gave a hundred thousand dollars to Judge McElwayne, and it was a stretch. I'll do the same for Judge McCarthy.
Please note that the context is about a campaign.
Thanks
The meaning is this. It was very difficult to give a hundred thousand dollars to Judge McElwayne, because it is a lot of money.
