Will he get a return for all that money or end up like Jeb just flushing those $$$'s down the toilet.
I just hate it when politicians try to buy elections.

(9,313 posts)And I have no doubt that every supporter wants to see him invest whatever we contribute to the max in all the upcoming races too.
As I, and others, have pointed out:
Whatever the outcome, every person inspired to play an active part in the campaign, every dollar raised, every delegate won, helps disprove the notion that universal health care, billionaires tax, and so on, are "toxic" topics that Democrats must avoid at all costs.
Inside the beltway, the "conventional wisdom" is that raising "socialist" ideas will bring the wrath of... well someone.. down on them. Bernie's campaign is showing them that what "comes down" is masses of money and a well-spring of energetic support. Seeing the real consequences of raising "socialist" ideas can help put some spine back into them... Well, perhaps not actual spine, perhaps just enlightened self-interest (Maybe I could rally some support and raise more money for reelection if I were bolder? Hmmm.)

(79 posts)HRC has have super pacs, HRC has the Hillary Victory Fund, and HRC has the DNC all spending money, and free labor to support Hillary in the primaries not to mention the free sportive media coverage from CNN & MSNBC.
So who has really spent more? Or is Bernie just trying to level the playing field ?

That's just bad management.
