Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) isn’t quick to say whether he’s solely focusing on defeating former Vice President Joe Biden in the Democratic presidential primary just two days before Super Tuesday.
His Election Fraction is not where he had hoped. At least all of us can see THIS number
Citing how Sanders’ campaign raised $46 million last month, Brennan asked what edge that gives him heading into Super Tuesday. Sanders replied that “it is not only the amount of money that we raised,” but “it’s how we raised it” before proceeding to slam Biden.
“We don’t have a super PAC like Joe Biden. I don’t go to rich people’s homes like Joe Biden. I think Joe has contributions for more than [forty] billionaires,” Sanders said. “What we have done is received more campaign contributions from more Americans than any candidate in the history of the United States, averaging 18 dollars and 50 cents. This is a campaign of working people and by working people.”
Not everyone cares, of course.
OK, Bernie.
Uh yeah, because Super Tuesday is coming up and Biden’s camp is showing the same type of complacent arrogance that the other camps did after their own wins/overperformances.
40 billionaires, huh.
A couple of weeks ago he was using the same attack line on Buttigieg.
They’re limited to the same contribution limits as anyone else.
Stupid, unnecessary question (and headline).

Bernie, Joe, Trump. Septuagenarian trifecta.
Bernie’s at least keeping his eye on the ball.
Not really.
Some PACs get to do whatever they want.
And billionaires have their own PACs.
Bloomberg, for example.
Setting aside super pacs and all of the other ways the super rich can spend on politics, 57% of the people in this country don’t have $500 to cover an emergency, let alone $2,800 to drop on a single candidate.
His comment was specifically about “contributions”, not about PACs.
Sanders has votes.
But Peteamylizjoe have more
To be fair, you’re seeing this in some places but are you seeing it directly in “Biden’s camp”?
Specifics and links, please.
“Well, we’re going to see,” Sanders said.
Where have I heard that phrase before?
Little-known fact: PACs are actually book clubs, coffee klatches, and knitting circles. They make no political “contributions” whatsoever.
Er … From your parents?
Accepting donations does not equal doing the bidding of the donor.
Too bad Bernie isn’t honest enough to say so.
Sort of O/T, but not really— an interesting look at Slovakia’s recent election…
