With over 7 million donations, it's likely a bit more challenging than the 25-30 massive donations through superpacs. But the point remains, it may have been addressed already so why the pissing up the rope?

So unless you're an Independaent or an undecided voter, you don't need to know. Those that it matters to will find out when they need to.

And I have only chosen to start posting at this time due to the rude and ill informed comments like your own that have taken over this once great place to get news and interesting points of view.
There is nothing to be gained from belittling others. Just because you are a long time poster does not make you superior.

There certainly seems to be an accounting problem that Sanders needs to address. But I don't think the Clinton and Republican approach of just circumventing the FEC rules is the way to go.
