Time to donate to the Hillary campaign.

She mentions "under a hundred dollars" quite often, so we give $99 when we're feeling flush.

Challenge by Sanders Still Diverts Clinton From Fall

By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE and SARAH COHEN

"While Mrs. Clinton has built a significant advantage in pledged delegates over Mr. Sanders in the Democratic nominating contest, her lead has come at a significant cost. She spent more than she raised in each of the first three months of the year, according to Federal Election Commission data, including more than $12 million on ads in March alone."

Sorry, this was e-mailed to me without a link.

on hand at the end of March than she did.

He's raising and spending and while her money would be better spent on the general, I'm not worried about her methods.

I usually give $10 or so at a time because it makes me feel so good.

... Bernie supporters are donating to their local Democrats? How do they think they'll get their pie out of the sky if they don't change congress????

Bernie admits that he hasn't helped any down ticket Dems.
