The Ship is Sinking: Top Bernie Sanders Staffers Quit Campaign Ahead of California Primary

[Cali_Democrat]

More staffers have left the Bernie Sanders campaign in the last few days, and as of today, the campaign’s director of technology joins that list.

After Sanders’ fundraising slowed earlier this month, hundreds of field staffers were let go by the campaign. Just last week, Bernie Sanders lost his California campaign director. California is cited by the Sanders campaign as a potential turning point for the Vermont senator, who could score a big victory and potentially turn the tide against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

According to Politico, key Sanders staffers left the campaign this week, including the campaign’s director of technology and members of Bernie Sanders’ original senior leadership team working on the ground in California.

Zach Schneider, one of the Bernie Sanders campaign’s tech staffers, quit last Friday after spending six months with the campaign. Schneider was in charge of the “Text For Bernie” program, which allowed volunteers to send text messages to targeted individuals. It was a project Schneider worked on for the Sanders campaign, but the in-house text messaging app was abruptly canceled.

1. that must be why Bernie surged to a 7 point lead in California in the gold standard Field poll

[Cali_Democrat]

5. What's the gold standard field poll?

Never heard of it.

Do you have any more information on it?

[KingFlorez]

7. There is some fake numbers going around

Sanders fanatics reversed poll numbers and have been passing it around. Don't believe anything that they post.

[virtualobserver]

14. We will see when it is released.

[KingFlorez]

16. There isn't a Field Poll out right now

The last one was taken in late March and had Clinton up. There is not Field Poll with Sanders leading and there isn't one coming out.

[virtualobserver]

18. we will see

[KingFlorez]

20. Now you are saying "we will see"

In short, you didn't tell the truth. Fail.

[KingFlorez]

25. "that must be why Bernie surged to a 7 point lead in California in the gold standard Field poll"

That is what you posted. You were trying to mislead and got caught.

[zappaman]

I see a field poll, but it shows Hillary with the lead.

Is there a newer one?

[KingFlorez]

21. There isn't one showing Sanders leading

It's a lie based on some crap someone made up on a blog.

[Cali_Democrat]

27. So they're fabricating polls

That's pretty pathetic.

[KingFlorez]

28. Yes they are

Someone posted another link yesterday saying that Sanders has surged to a 7 point lead in California, but they self-deleted it, because it was not a real poll.

[WhiteTara]

30. Oh that 14 year old kid from India

or the blog registered in Italy...great sources.

[NWCorona]

23. I'm not sure to be honest. I was just pointing out that the have

Been operating in Cali since 1947.

[Brother Buzz]

13. The Gold Standard Field Poll is conducted in......

Trump's California headquarters office in Natomas, California, or so I've been told.

[virtualobserver]

15. You can't believe everything David Brock whispers in your ear.

[firebrand80]

17. He needs to win by a lot more than 7 nt

[amborin]

2. Fail! The Bernie Campaign is transitioning for the GE; It's doing great in California

[Demsrule86]

10. Bernie won't be in the GE

Take a deep breath...blow it out slowly ...and accept the truth.

[workinclasszero]

3. Rats jumping off the Titanic

[NurseJackie]

4. Are they just fed-up and tired of fighting a hopeless battle? Or ...

... are they fed up with internal conflicts and power struggles?

Did they receive a better job offer elsewhere? Or, are they trying to salvage future employment opportunities by distancing themselves before it's too late?

Were they asked to "resign or be fired"? Or, did they just want to spend more time with the family?

[firebrand80]

6. He probably started looking for a new job a month ago nt

[KittyWampus]

11. No one with any self respect would continue on w/Sanders. He is toxic. Which means the voids

left by responsible adults leaving will probably be filled with extremist Berniebros.

So things may even get worse and more violent.

[w4rma]

24. The only extremists I've seen are lying Clintonites. (nt)

[sadoldgirl]

29. What violence has happened until now?

Please, fill me in. Booing is not violence as far
as I know. And yesterdays "outrage" was a well
faked story. Ralston had to take it back.

So what violence, please?
