43. Sanders has enough money to be able to return some of it and still be in good shape.

And it will take time for him too figure it out, especially the IDs of foreign contributions which may be from Americans livign abroad.

All he has to do is to save enough money to be able to return or give to charity donations he does not want to keep. It just takes time to get it straightened out.

Campaign finance law is very complicated.

Who knows how much of the Superpac money for the other candidates is really laundered foreign money?

And of course the superpac money does not have any donation limit.

Bernie's campaign will deal with this quite well, I'm sure.

Hillary does not have the ability to fundraise.
