1. It really is disgusting to see the Sanders campaign trying to sabotage a down-ticket fundraiser.

Sanders has even been fundraising off the fundraiser--for himself!

As Hillary's campaign said,

“Hillary Clinton has made it a priority to raise money for Democrats up and down the ballot and we’re grateful to the Clooneys for helping us support the party with this event. We hope that Senator Sanders joins us in sending the money he raises off our event to other Democrats.”

I suspect an organized troll invasion... Not just here either... Supect other sites too...Sanders may be delusional and an unaware participant...regardless, the tone is not authentic in my opinion....

as a part of his running for the dem nomination? I thought I'd heard that in the media somewhere. So if he doesn't can they pull the plug for not fulfilling the agreement?

while some 'oil and gas industry' employees have given money to both Hillary and Bernie, 97% of contributions have gone to Republicans?

You can't go to a gunfight unarmed.

12. This action proves the BS supporters are neither liberals, progressives or Democratic Party members

Sabotaging fund raising for down ticket Democratic Party candidates are the actions of right wing dirty tricksters. BS at this point is only trying to prevent the election of Democratic Party candidates at every level in November. It is time to get real.

if, due to all the (righteous) rants about the kochheads.. maybe they are funding faux Bernie supporters to sabotage him...? I am not defending him but I wonder about the "dark" entities who are trying to end the government in its entirety.



"Cause if that's not it, these folks are really a whole bunch of "blow it" cases.

After the GOP dropped $500 million in slimy dark money defining him all summer long while he's playing the righteous nobility card trying to catch up $27 at a time.

If there's one thing this primary has revealed its that his followers are utterly clueless when it comes to street smarts.
