In other words, if Bernie Sanders were the nominee, would the remaining money Hillary raised go to him? Could it do so, legally?
I dislike and distrust zero-sum, Hobson's Choices posed by elites that always resolve to their advantage if the premise is accepted. So I don't accept it.
They want us to think we can either do what they tell us and get their money, or fight blind and crippled from lack of money.
It would behoove us to reject the premise. Amateurs discuss tactics, professionals speak logistics. And if we can find a legitimate way to lay hands on that corporate dough to use against its own sources, that would be a considerable victory of imagination.
Update: I guess I have to explain this in more detail. When I say "corporate money," I don't mean explicitly money from corporations going directly to the Clinton campaign - I mean all money going from all financially-interested elements toward supporting Clinton's candidacy in any capacity, whether it be directly or through PACs and similar arrangements. And I'm not asking about that money going directly to a Sanders campaign, but about how it can be harnessed to support that campaign in any capacity beyond simply raising it as an issue.
