The latest Camp Weathervane attack

Is to convince Bernie supporters that it's over and that he's only staying in to collect $ from us.

Don't fall for it, this is an attempt to dry up his funding while Hillary 'leverages' the HVF and the DNC to pay for her campaign.

They are trying to avoid talking about the core issues of the campaign, because Hillary's positions are lacking or downright wrong.

primaries. Sure, the media has been trying to pound nails in his coffin for months now, and the Clinton campaign has gone really dirty. But you're right. He's still in the hunt. And, I'm still supporting him, and his platform, along with millions of other Americans. It is a great movement and we will force the Democratic party away from Third Way and back to positions that actually benefit working Americans. It isn't enough to be socially liberal while practicing neoliberal 'free market' economics and neoconservative foreign 'forever war' policy.

We need, and demand, change.

If my husband doesn't tell me how I'm to spend my money, they certainly don't have any input.

What is truly ironic this is coming from supporters of a candidate who singlehandedly could pay for her campaign, yet will mooch them for donations.

to all this about how "he's just in it for the money" and "swindling innocent young people" and all that?

It was "down" and "disappointing"! Even though it was essentially the same as that raised by miss coronation. If his fundraising dries up they will hit him just before California to try and knock his numbers down.

They can't donate again until the GE. I would guess that few of Bernie's donors are maxed out. I've "only" donated about $500, and I'm unemployed

upgraded my monthly donation so that it is $27 each month and often individual donations when I join others in donating.

This is the most corrupt election I have ever seen. Even worse than the Texas rolls still having long dead voters voting. Even the MSM is corrupted.

It's amusing to see what kind of hurr-durr their $1,000,000 buys them.

At least we can't feel so bad for the Camp's overall stinginess. Who'd be donating to Bernie if we knew the money was being put to use in such lame ways as how her side spends it?
