If he's getting a cut of all the ad buys (on top of the ads that are made by his firms) those costs are in the tens of millions of dollars--he's making some scratch.

Tad Devine, a senior advisor on the Sanders campaign, told Yahoo that his firm, Devine Mulvey Longabaugh, crafted the ad.

The Democratic ad maker, who talked to Yahoo, gave the commercial rave reviews.

“I think it’s beautiful. I’m a sucker for a well-scored spot, and when you’ve got permission to use a stirring track like ‘America,’ you’re off on the right foot,” he said.

Art Garfunkel and Paul Simon are not listed among the celebrities who have endorsed Sanders. Spokespeople for the Sanders campaign told CNN that the song “was properly licensed.” Garfunkel and representatives for Simon did not respond to requests from Yahoo about whether they personally approved the use of their song and would be backing Sanders.

He has fired "hundreds." He's pulling in his resources. MADem Apr 2016 #17

It would probably also help if he stopped spending so much on ads, busses, etc. Stand and Fight Apr 2016 #21

His campaign doesn't seem to be able to adapt to changing circumstances. Koinos Apr 2016 #45

He wants to stay in until the convention. They know damn well there is NO chance. Unless they are kerry-is-my-prez Apr 2016 #48
