2. The only people to whom Bernie owes a single thing are his donors.

I've been donating to Bernie for over a year. If he dropped out for any reason other than health,I would not be happy with him.

I've been sending him more funds than I've ever sent anyone. I think he'll do whatever he can. He's down on funds now.

I think the MSM narrative is gaining traction with people who are new to this kind of struggle.

Thank you. That info must be in my email, but I have not checked for a couple of days.

I should have changed my sig line long ago.

7. I don't think he has a choice at this point, the ballots are all printed.

His votes will be counted, the ball is rolling and all that.

Even if he want on vacation right now, he's in no matter what.

11. Bernie is down in cash

….going into CA. He has 6M to her 25 to 30M.

Money walks. And we all know where her big money comes from.

It's infuriating.

BTW—during the same period, HRC had 1.5M small donors.
The thing is—Bernie had 12.5M.

But the pockets who fund her are bottomless.

Send what you can to him.
