5. There is no way to know how much Bernie money is RW...

The GOP is obviously capable of sending money to Bernie in order to defeat Hillary...for example:

http://www.crewsmostcorrupt.org/mostcorrupt/entry/vern-buchanan

Rep. Buchanan’s claim he knew nothing about thousands of dollars in illegal contributions propping up his campaign is laughable — except to federal investigators.

Since 2010, 11 individuals and corporations tied to Rep. Buchanan have been fined for illegal conduit contributions to his campaign.


If Bernie's donations drop off, it could be because he's losing, but it also could be that the Koch brothers, etc. have stopped propping up his campaign too. After all, the GOP is really after Hillary, not Bernie.
