Let’s not forget all the sloppy accounting that has led to the FEC demanding action…
Then there’s this: http://granitegrok.com/blog/2016/03/press-release-bill-obrien-files-fec-complaint-against-sanders-campaign – Australian Labor Party sending and paying for citizens of that country to work for Bernie 2016 prior to the February 9, 2016 New Hampshire Presidential Primary.
But he’s authentic!
Lotta good shiite at the FEC site. I nosed around there some myself last night.
Don’t confuse what is going on with quid pro quo. That is childish and illegal. The expectations game has to do with unstated assumptions about access or special consideration. Those assumptions are often true. I am sorry, but every modern politician engages in the same expectations game. Nobody is pure, not even Bernie, but it is horseshit to deny politicians don’t smile favorably on people who bundle millions for them.
Ask Bill Maher what he got for the million he laid on Obama. Obama won’t even come on his show. That’s the quid pro quo people get for the money they donate.
We maxed out to Obama twice. He doesn’t have a clue who we are. Jebus!!!
How about Bernie apologize for incessant character assassination? In every speech he implies that she is a liar, that she has something to hide. I stopped supporting him because of that. People are holding him as “holier than thou” which he is not. As long as he continues with deceit, as long as he repeats the deceit, much like lies it becomes truth. The more I learn about him and his platform, the more I wonder how he’ll pass it. This is especially true after he told Rachel Maddow that he’ll see if he’ll support democratic candidates down the line.He needs them for his “revolution”.
BOOYAH!!!
(and perfect)
WaPo just released an analysis that shows him going underwater with non college white men for the first time…52% view him negatively.
That pokes a gaping hole in the GOP strategy for this fall. The numbers, as expected, get even worse with white women…68% of white women have a negative view of Trump (that’s off the scales for a front runner).
And of course, his numbers with minorities are so below Romney’s that we might as well call the election the day after he wins the nomination.
Is that supposed to be funny?
certainly its frustrating…
please note if this came from a Bernie supporter the attcks would be coming. However I think this should be a safe placa to vent this frustration without being attacked.
no one here will see a debate stage that has any of the Repubs on it and not immediately feel the urgency to vote for the democratic nominee.
So I try to take these statements in stride.
I think others should too.
You’re not that naive are you? That’s like saying prostitution is not the oldest profession because It can’t be proven. But everyone knows it to be true.
Pay-to-Play goes back centuries. If I’m CEO of GS and paid you millions in donations and speaking fees, and I call you, you will pick up the phone and talk to me. And if I come knocking on your door you will see me.
Bernie seems to see the enemy in Hillary and the DNC.
He’s not interested in fighting the GOP.

Of course he needs to stop—but he won’t, because he’s more opposed to Hillary than he is to Trump or Cruz.
And he’s not going to buck the bots who believe that he’s the Second Coming.
No, but I will inform his campaign of this, and I’m sure you will soon be getting a full refund.
Sanders: Sanctimonious Hypocrite
Apology from Sanders to the women in America and specifically for lying about Hillary’s money raising and also for lying and pretending that no PAC money helps him.
Maybe he should just stop being so negative and nasty and lay out positive proposals.
The real disservice is to his naive, ideological, dreamy groupies, like the rude Greenpeace liar who confronted Hillary.
He’s on his way to winning Wisconsin, so I find these numbers very troubling.
"…no one here will see a debate stage that has any of the Repubs on it and not immediately feel the urgency to vote for the democratic nominee. "
You should get an award for this comment. Absolute truth.
Do you think he will end up getting the nomination? I’m not so sure anymore. I have this suspicion that Cruz is going to end up with the nod. I still think Cruz is beatable, but I think it will be a harder slog than Trump.
Yeah! Bernie is stuck on the donations instead of explaining how he’ll make his agenda work. His supporters only hear what they want which is his mantra of “millionaires/billionaires, Wall Street, free healthcare, free college” without details on HOW he will accomplish it. They have no idea how he’ll achieve success. All they know is that Hillary is a liar. That is engrained in their brains. He refused to commit (on Rachel Maddow) to fundraise for fellow “democrats” down the road, the same democrats he needs for the passage of his agenda.

Bernie is not just whining, he also wants the DNC party rules to change for him.
