I saw in one article that Clinton got 15 million. How much did Sanders get?

Campaign finance is a murky place.

to fund his own campaigning efforts. The Sanders campiign has responded to every problem that's come up from having record numbers of donors and donations.

Hillary is playing fast and loose with campaign finance laws. And that's what the former FEC official was getting at.

FEC

These aren't from "former" FEC persons. They are from the FEC itself. Do you know Sanders signed the same joint fundraising agreement with the DNC.


Sanders and Weaver are really on unethical ground here. I knew Weaver would go there, a bit surprised how easy it was to get Sanders there. Really shady on their part.

addressed. Bernie was not in direct control of all those contributions and it requires a large accounting effort to itemize them all and make sure limits were not breached.

These are normal Americans making small donations. Hillary is using a loophole so extremely rich donors can make a onetime donation that is over 130 times larger than the ones Bernie can take from the normal process. Hillary is then using that money first for her efforts. The money that was suppose to go to the down ticket candidates isn't getting to them.

Sanders knows exactly what he's addressing. Hillary is taking funds she raised for other candidates and using that money to help fund her own damn campaign.

You are playing a game of partisan politics when we actually have one campaign regularly taking part in shady donation practices. That just doesn't play into your game of partisan politics.

... the Democratic parties of the individual states will not be amused.

But he chose not to go negative and the media certainly isn't going to their job. Except, some in the media are "doing their job" on behalf of the Clinton Camp.

Sanders campaign is really low-ball in more ways then one.

... and he repeatedly referred to the Democratic Party as the Democrat Party.

Wankers.

What Sanders is doing here is unethical and malicious. If the DNC and Clinton were as shady as he is they would file suit back for defamation. Really low what Sanders and Weaver are doing.

It is a money laundering loophole created by the McCutchen vs FEC decision. It enabled Hill to funnel her funds through state parties and the DNC. No one is saying it is breaking any law but it is morally bankrupt, much like the Clinton family M.O.

The requirement for the 33 states participating is that their super delegates MUST commit to Hill. This all happened before she even announced her candidacy. It was an orchestrated slimy activity. The one person, one vote concept is a fucking miserable joke.
