(10,805 posts)The nurses SPENT about $1 million bucks and much of that if not all of it went Bernie's way
Priorities (A Clinton Super PAC) SPENT roughly $444,000 (I don't recall the cutoff date)
Correct the Record SPENT roughly $333,000 in the first few weeks of their existence in May and June.
So unless Correct the Record spent less than $240,000 over the past six months (including hiring PPP to do debate polling) when they'd spent $333,000 in their first month and a bit, then the article is wrong.
It's very unlikely financially that an outfit for a campaign spends $55k per week starting up and falls to $9k per week immediately after when they had about $1.4 mil in the bank 7 months ago.
The article is lame, deceptive bullshit.
Clinton had $50 mil sitting in her bank account at the end of September - with about $15 mil of that belonging to her Super PACs (ignoring Correct the Record). Does anyone here really think that the Clinton Campaign is saving up for Christmas 2022?
That's information that is far more pertinent to the outcome of the primary than smearing Bernie with this trivial, meaninglessness, inaccurate bullshit.
