Why isn't Sanders raising money for downticket Dems? [View all] woolldog Apr 2016 OP

Because he does not give a damn about the Democratic party. hrmjustin Apr 2016 #1

yup woolldog Apr 2016 #4

Yep. The Democratic Party is simply a vehicle of COLGATE4 Apr 2016 #5

BULLSH**! As A Former "Down Ticket" Dem... The Party ONLY Gives Support To "ESTABLISHMENT" TOADIES CorporatistNation Apr 2016 #28

For a fact the Party doesn't give support COLGATE4 Apr 2016 #31

So if I can point to an example of where the Party gave support to a progressive... brooklynite Apr 2016 #36

no access to the Democratic Party database unless you are running against DWS and shamed into it virtualobserver Apr 2016 #49

...which has nothing to do with her opponent being a progressive... brooklynite Apr 2016 #65

why should I give to the DNC if they won't provide access to party information.... virtualobserver Apr 2016 #69

I don't care if you give to the DNC at all... brooklynite Apr 2016 #77

yes, but we are funding Bernie..He is getting a tiny number of donors who even max out at $2700.... virtualobserver Apr 2016 #90

Bernie Sanders could right the terms of the JFA any way he wanted to... brooklynite Apr 2016 #92

Yes, he could screw his own candidacy as you suggest, but Hillary is just taking care of herself.... virtualobserver Apr 2016 #96

And yet, every candidate I've talked to wants to run with Hillary at the top brooklynite Apr 2016 #98

they are in the bubble.....they will come to their senses virtualobserver Apr 2016 #101

The DNC is not publicly trashing Sanders. LiberalFighter Apr 2016 #82

I'll donate to the DNC in the fall, not while they support the opponent of my chosen candidate virtualobserver Apr 2016 #91

You don't even have to donate to them. LiberalFighter Apr 2016 #95

I'm already doing that virtualobserver Apr 2016 #97

At the end of the day, that will be a wasted effort, I suspect. MADem Apr 2016 #114

OK, they gave money to Sanders--so he's an "ESTABLISHMENT TOADY" then (your words) ? nt MADem Apr 2016 #81

Nor do I, the party has moved so far to the right that I no longer will vote a party ticket bowens43 Apr 2016 #14

Hillary isn't giving a dime to the Democratic party......She takes the first $5400 for herself. virtualobserver Apr 2016 #17

That's like children giving $5 to "Hands Across America" and the first $5 went to "Admin Costs!" TheBlackAdder Apr 2016 #48

This is even worse since not many people have the capability of donating $5400.... virtualobserver Apr 2016 #54

correction, he doesn't give a damn about Dems that sold out. Perogie Apr 2016 #27

If she is so unselfish and a shoo-in, why not debate when the Amer. People can hear her? snowy owl Apr 2016 #20

how many debates have there been already? woolldog Apr 2016 #22

In P primary, can't have enough debates! All Americans deserve to hear candidates. Period. snowy owl Apr 2016 #25

I guess 26 in 2008 was way too obsessive unapatriciated Apr 2016 #44

UH OH....according to YOUR citation, there were only SIX DEBATES in total between TWO candidates. MADem Apr 2016 #55

And she didn't think six were enough in 2008 unapatriciated Apr 2016 #74

Well, golly--she was LOSING. The LOSER always wants more debates! MADem Apr 2016 #79

so she only cares about fairness when she is loosing. unapatriciated Apr 2016 #84

It's LOSING, not LOOSING--Loosing is what happens to bowels. MADem Apr 2016 #99

Thanks for the spelling correction unapatriciated Apr 2016 #107

He's in worse shape by FAR than she was at this same time in the process. MADem Apr 2016 #112
