I guess he is doing fine financially. I just checked my email and the only email I have gotten from his campaign all week is to check out a new webpage.



BTW Hillary outspent Bernie in KY, a state where she won big in 2008, and still tied with Bernie.

The Clinton campaign is returning to the airwaves after a brief absence, buying roughly $175,000 worth of television advertising in Kentucky to air in the next week, according to two media buyers tracking the reservations.

This year, that wasn't a factor. Bernie's biggest chunks of votes came from parts of the state Dems get killed in. They were protest votes against Obama more than anything and Clinton was the target.

That is what she used to bribe Obama in 2008 to unify the Dems before the election.

How could you not remember that? It was a pretty big discussion here on DU and other liberal websites.

If he slaps it away it's on him. I rather make a friend than an enemy but if someone fails to shake my extended hand he or she has made themselves my enemy.

Sanders doesn't have to worry just about campaign debt. The cost of hauling his entire family, his campaign poobahs and a press contingent to Rome and back will have to be repaid out of his own pocket. If he fails to do so....

Well, my darlings, in the real world putting your private hand into the corporate cookie jar is called embezzlement. If he doesn't reimburse the organization, he may be having some conversations with the Fibbies himself.

He'll run a Third Party Ponzi Scheme campaign first, with his debt at the top. Just like the banksters who tanked the entire economy for a few billion take home.

(Was that too harsh?)
