More Sanders staffers exit campaign

[RandySF]

A handful of high-level staffers have left Bernie Sanders’ campaign in recent days, including his director of technology and three of the four members of his original senior leadership team in California — a state his team has said is critical to his bid for the Democratic nomination.

The moves come at a time of contraction for the campaign, which let go of hundreds of field staffers earlier this month amid slowed fundraising.

Zach Schneider, among the campaign’s lead tech staffers, voluntarily left on Friday after six months when the in-house text messaging program he had been working on was cut, he told POLITICO.

Text For Bernie, the campaign’s program for having volunteers send text messages to targeted individuals — voters in primary states on Election Day, for example — had been run for the first few months of the campaign through a third-party company called Hustle before Schneider and his team developed their own program in time to get out the vote for this month’s Indiana primary.

1. Yet, he still tells his supporters that he's in it to win and send him money

This thing is over.

2. I'm sending him another $30 tonight.

Bernie is changing the political landscape in a good and lasting way. Berners all know and appreciate that. Onward to the convention!

3. His CA director, who was a ground game whiz-kid, was the first to get the ax.

This is not a good sign for his future viability. I'll bet he's kept the pollsters on for now, and they're reading the handwriting on the wall.

4. With all this termoil how does he keep beating her?

Now even in closed primaries he is winning, you would think he would be losing by huge numbers with all these problems.
