6. Canova is raising money from the same grass roots that powers Bernie.

The grassroots that powers bernie is volunteering for Canova as well.

The Bernie people are now the Canova people. That is how Bernie will get down ballot dems elected. People like Tim, and not for people like DWS.

10. Why should Bernie campaign for people that are working against Bernie?

Hillary is the frontrunner, it's her job to send money to people like Sherrod. Sherrod delivered Ohio to Hillary, Hillary now owes Sherrord.

Once Bernie becomes the front runner, he can work on down ballot. Before he becomes the front runner, he has to focus on becoming the front runner.

Tim Canova matters, he will challenge DWS. That is a perfect down ballot Democrat.

He should raise and fund Berniecrats directly. Starve and discard the DNC and their leader.
