2016 Postmortem

Read the tea leaves first.
In response to the FEC inquiry, the Sanders campaign CHOSE to refund $800K odd in excess onations to the donors. The campaign could have earmarked it for the General Election budget which they are LEGALLY allowed to do.
The fact that the Sanders campaign decided to REFUND The money rather than keep it means the Sanders campaign knows it will not be around for the general election.
Keeping them for GE is not dishonest -- they can always be refunded after the primary is over and Bernie loses.
There you have it.

(10,650 posts)Sanders isn't a money grubber like Hillary. He probably wasn't expecting to get too many donations over the limit.

(57,589 posts)I'm going to assume the Sanders campaign's accountants were just not bright enough to catch the excess contributions but the FEC was. Sanders 2016 would have been fined if they ignored it.

(12,041 posts)When you post pure bigotry against a disabled person that results in a 7-0 hide you have no business telling other people what should and should not be posted.
People can follow the link below to see the person you accused of having "an agenda to get free health care". If you are going to post right-wing bigotry then don't think we are going to listen to you when you tell us what not to post.

(12,041 posts)It was your language that was twisted and bigoted and the jury agreed 7-0 that it was a disgusting post.

(12,041 posts)That post is irrefutable proof of your bigotry and many in the thread called you out on it, not all of them were Bernie supporters either.

Listen...if Hillary doesn't garner enough Bernie voters in the GE, we'll have people like you to point to.
cosmicone
(11,014 posts)What a bizarro world this is !! Unless one bows down to the messiah, one is stirring shit hahahahaha

(3,014 posts)It's not what you're doing. It's how you're doing it. And don't play dumb. You're not that stupid. The way you go about it, all your posts are meant to instigate.
If you don't realize you're doing it, then perhaps you are that dumb.
Let's see...how would cosmicone reply to that...oh yeah...
Behahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Buddyblazon
(3,014 posts)What is the need? Every time I see one of your posts, it's you trying to illicit a negative response. Perhaps you should take it to another site. Lord knows I regular a site where trolling is welcomed. Even encouraged..."just for the lulz".
This isn't one of those sites. Your main goal seems to be to insult and anger other posters.
This is not a site where trolling is welcome. The
Fact that you've made it this far trolling here is a mystery.
Or we just put it in laymans terms:
Stop being a fucking dick and stirring up shit.

(143,998 posts)The refunding of these contributions are not consistent with Sanders believing that he will be the nominee
