3. It's been all over but the sobbing for awhile....but Tad Devine wants to suck

a few more million out of the corpse of the campaign.

I'm sure all the faux-riled "fight the power" types from NV will be willing to pay Tad's company payroll for a few more months with their twenty seven dollar wasted contributions!

Believe me, the second it becomes evident that Sanders is in the red and doesn't have enough cash on hand to pay his bills (never mind pay back the people who gave illegal and improper donations), Tad will be telling Bernie to give it up.

He and Jeff Weaver have done more to destroy Sanders' reputation than any Republican could do. They've certainly written the GOP playbook for cutting him out of the herd in the 2018 Senate race.

7. His brand is crisis...and he is the biggest fooking grifter on the scene, today!

He's repurposing, flipping and recycling the Bolivian campaign with Sanders, un-apologetically -- "Everything sucks, everything's awful, it's scary, it's dire, and only Berrrnnnieeee can save you!"

It's like watching a modern day version of "The Emperor Has No Clothes" over, and over again. This clown has worked on a number of LOSING campaigns for our team, from Carter 2 to Dukakis to Kerry, and he is a tone-deaf schmuck.

He makes commercials like that "All Come To Look For Amerrrrrrr....i...cah" one that, really, a kid with an iPad and a Spotify account could have cobbled together--and then he charges millions for it, millions for "placing it," and then has the brass walnuts to take a salary ON TOP OF THAT. And then he smiles in all his pics like that cat who just ate the canary. No shit--he's a modern day PT Barnum, and there IS one born every minute!

I'm just astounded that NO ONE within that campaign can see what is OBVIOUS to anyone glancing at Bernie's FEC filings--he's surrounded by con men who are bleeding him dry. What Rasputinesque power keeps this grifter so close to the throne, I wonder? He must have some very sweet words that keep The Bern convinced that this nitwit is doing right by him, when in fact he's just using him as a two-legged ATM.
