[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bernie Sanders also has a joint fundraising committee with the DNC and will also benefit. Why did you not mention that? [/quote]

OP here.  OK, sure, I'll mention it.  In fact, to quote the WaPo article that ran the story:

"[b]Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, has set up a joint fundraising committee with the DNC called the Hillary Victory Fund, which raised $26.9 million [/b]through the end of 2015. [b]Sanders [/b]has set up a similar joint fundraising committee but Federal Election Commission records show it has not been active, raising a total of just [b]$1,000[/b]."

So... yeah.  [/quote]
You are inadvertently underlining the fact that Hillary regularly raises money for down-ballot Democrats and Sanders does not.  That money goes to the party regardless of who the nominee is.

It's interesting how Bernie folks get angry that the party doesn't back him, but they never comment on the fact that he doesn't back the party. [/quote]

Jesus, you are totally missing the point.  That fund mentioned up there is the "Hillary Victory Fund."  Sanders is correctly pointing out, once you start taking the Molly, you cannot quit.  Eventually you will sell your own children to get your next hit.  And there we have it.  One of the MAJOR issues that Sanders is actually getting support for is  his stand on money in politics and the fact that he is staking his own presidential run on an ethical campaign.  In other words, he is walking the walk.  Clinton is shooting up one last time, one last time...[/quote]
I think you don't understand what the Hillary Victory Fund is. That's the vehicle for raising money for other Democrats and the Democratic Party.  It is separate from the funds she raises for her campaign. Bernie has the same kind of agreement, he has just chosen (so far) not to raise funds for down-ballot candidates. [/quote]

So what you're saying is, not only is she taking the Molly, but she's happy to get all her sisters and brothers in on the action, too.  Nice.  They're all going to sell their kids.  Way to go, DNC!

Saaaaaaaaay, do you think that's why she's got all those superdelegates lined up?  Hm.

Yes, this is what people are PISSED about.  You get it now?[/quote]
Man, this is just nuts. In the past, Bernie has been happy to raise funds for Democratic Senate candidates. If he didn't want to raise money for down-ballot candidates this year, he didn't have to sign the agreement to do so.

It's kind of funny that you're so furious about this stuff but you don't mind him hiring the most "establishment" campaign strategist in the Democratic Party.  [/quote]
