Related: About this forumWould Bernie accept financial help from Bloomberg if Bernie becomes
our nominee?
That is a real worry. Maybe Bloomberg's money could all go to help Democrats down-ticket. I would hate to see it going to waste.

(9,970 posts)... a very good question. It requires some thought, but the first answer that came into my mind was... Yes, he would accept the money. Bernie would change, anyway, and say "big money" was needed due to the circumstances (which is a fact and they way most candidates handle the issue now).

Though I'm not sure how they manage things like this...

I guess the funds go to a PAC and not directly to Trump's campaign...?

(16,616 posts)that Sanders wouldn't take a dime from Bloomberg.
This is stupid beyond belief, because if he's the nominee, he can kiss Arizona and half a dozen other purples states goodbye, and we'll have four more years of Martha McSally and Donald Trump. Unless he accepts help from Bloomberg.
I'm getting fed the hell up with Bernie and his supporters. (I supported him in the 2016 primaries.)
Based on his NH speeches I thought he was vowing solidarity, but the past 24 hours show otherwise.
The Culinary union attacks are a screw up that is almost beyond comprehension. What are his people thinking??
