I see that the Brockian meme is to attack on money, in whatever way possible--whether it makes sense or not--to distract from the sources of Hillary's filthy lucre, and the half a billion she personally pocketed from Wall Street for 'speeches.'

Pretend Democrats deride Bernie for running an entirely clean campaign, all small donations from the People, no superpacs, no billionaires, no transglobal corporations or banskters.

It's scary to the Big Money moguls who have taken over our party and our democracy, to have someone run a clean campaign like this. Defending them used to be a Republican thing.

because the FEC report shows that many individuals simply wrote him multiple small checks -- on the same day!

.....an oversight of an aggregate of small contributions, one alone was $3,000, $300 over the limit.

So people can complain and come up with false stories about Clinton's contributions, but every single one of them were withing the FEC regulations and campaign finance law.

Sanders, on the other hand, in just the last four months has had roughly FORTY THOUSAND contributions flagged by the FEC.

It funny, isn't it, that the only people complaining about this are Hillary supporters? I don't see any Bernie folks complaining that he hasn't given up and gone home, and it's THEIR MONEY that is getting spent here.

We are the are those who are making these ad's and campaign possible. And we're not associated with Wall St. either.

he should just buy us all a round of margaritas and call it a day

What is he accomplishing by staying in the race except getting five pics on the party platform board - the possible removal of DWS - bringing exposure to many qualified candidates that will be on the November ballot - giving the citizens of California (the 7th largest economy in the world) a chance to actually participate in this election - and having a lasting effect on the future decisions of the party
