You know it.

your claim, I'd think.

Why play dumb MM? They're all over.

your evidence that this is "all over the board." I don't read every thread, much less every post in every thread.

You made the claim. It's up to you to support it, really.

the sun is out--first time in long time (actually peeked out a bit yesterday). I am going for a walk but thought you might enjoy.

The American People... She will not be able to evade her record in the GE like she has in the primary...

I can understand their position.

It's disgusting, but then what about them isn't?

It is funny isn't it? If you are so convinced you are the winner why all the attacks? Their words say one thing but their actions say another.

Thing is - Bernie hasn't given up on us for DECADES. He's been fighting for the regular peeps his entire career so trying to smear him as a grifter is just idiotic.

But yeah - the marching orders came out from Hillary Inc. and their minions dutifully comply with this latest version of character assassination.

in a General Election.

If the money ISN'T translating into votes for Bernie, then why would his opponent ... ANY opponent ... waste energy and money bothering to attack him? Wouldn't it be more efficient to just let him spin his wheels, so to speak? If anything, this indicates the exact OPPOSITE ... that it is working and the opponent needs to take any and all measures to stop the constant flow of incoming money.

Metaphorically speaking just you know.

For the duration of the campaign.

Probably works a hundred hours a week for that.

He's not in the 1 percent.

How much did the Clintons rake in last year?

Employees of campaigns are public record.

Dunno if it would violate TOS but would be an interesting thread.

Bernie's peeps are too smart to fall for that.

I've given to Bernie more than once and might give again. I'm happy the message is getting out that we aren't entirely a Republican-lite party. The wallet closes if Hillary is the nominee. She might get my vote in an effort to defeat Trump, but the insults and nastiness against Bernie and his supporters does not inspire me to give her campaign a dime.

I donated to Bernie.

I sure the hell can't understand individuals donating to hillary. Isn't she able to donate without limits to her own campaign? Can you imagine donating to someone with $100 million net worth? Maybe there are a lot more mega-millionaires on DU than I imagined, but I just can't wrap my head around basically a go fund me campaign for someone who's got more money than I could figure out how to spend in 10 lifetimes.

the corporate sell outs in PEOPLE'S SUPPORT. . . .

And yes, I do keep smelling terror. I really want to know what they're so afraid of in the next few months. The screams for party unity, for Bernie to back off and now for him to give up the money donated to him to fund ____ are pretty loud and urgent.

Please continue...

That said, sounds logical to me...

Yet the supposed attack seems to always originate from a Sanders supporter blaming Clinton for the new attack.

say we're getting even more for our money than the corporations who toss $250,000 at Secretary Clinton for a one hour speech.

I'm fed up with Hillary's Traitorous "Family Values"

Weaver and Devine know he's going to lose, but they have convinced Bernie to hang on so they can line their pockets for a couple more months.

It's so fun and easy!

And it's based on the idea that everyone involved is reasonable.

You know, since he's representing millions of voters.

That's perfectly rational.

Fuck it, we have nothing to lose!

because if they didn't, I'd have to place them below Republicans rather than on a par, where they now reside.

'The Jewish candidate we always bash is in it for the money, just don't blame my friends and forgive me now!'

Sanders is using our donations to support relatives and friends, that sort of thing.

The Clinton Crew is more desperate than I had ever realized

Tad Devine is the Mark Penn of 2016. He doesn't care about the campaign; he cares about how much he can profit from the campaign.

so smear his campaign. Awesome!

Better come up with something, because that moment is fast approaching.

Take my money flimflam man!

outraising them

all of them.

They are SCARED!!! And they should be.

And if some twit comes along with that stupid - then tell me this, if they're not worried, then WHY come up with all of the bullshit lies and stupid memes? Nothing to do on a fine Sunday? No lives to worry about?

It's your money, no one cares what you do with it.

I would not be aware if you were not re-posting this. Counter productive, IMO. Don't reply and stuff like that will die on its own. But now they know if gets under your skin, so prepare for more!

Also, it was a couple of random blog posts. Most of us don't take that kind of thing all that seriously.....

Sounds about right for your group.

Just that I hadn't seen it until you posted. Also, who is "my group"? Curious to know.

"Thanks for hipping us to a new smear, we'll be sure to use it".

You are shooting yourself in the foot, not me. Just pointing out the obvious. I have very little interesting in smearing you. It is too easy. I am kind of bored with this already and will probably go read or watch old seasons of Walking Dead soon.....

but you knew that... I hope.

the links I posted elsewhere in the thread or any of responses directly parroting the trope? Or did you simply read the title and decide to pop off?

That tells me that us not a prevalent belief.

Glad it hasn't caught fire.

Well just keep digging in to out wallets as long as Sanders needs it.

Total grifter.

His team is brilliant at separating his base from their money. A buddy of mine does weekly contributions set up to total the max. That investment simply makes them feel invested. It was a great move on the campaigns part. The vote aspect is insignificant. It's about getting the message out.

think it's about a "payday". I'd appreciate it if, when you see that talk, you'd correct them.

With Clinton supporters doesn't seem to give me the same warm feeling as correcting Sanders supporters. I still speak my own mind independently, though.

I know you understand that.

just throwing shit against the wall.

But because Bernie is doing it, hes a "grifter".

Ask for $27 donations, you're a grifter. Demand $2700 donations, you're a Really Effective Fundraiser.

I think asking for $225,000 "donations" -- paid directly to the candidate's bank account -- qualifies you for something else altogether, but we needn't bother going into that.

With her pac's, she has outspent Sanders.

Total spent by Bernie = 81MM

Total spent by Clinton = 110MM
