(135,425 posts)It's not "controlled by once campaign," either. It goes to the DNC for distribution to primary winners, and the person raising the money--either Clinton or Sanders (if he would ever honor his promise to turn up at an event--guess he figures it's easier to Cry Victim and demand that his supporters send him twenty seven more bucks) takes their cut off the top.
Since the money doesn't go to PRIMARY candidates, the answer to your last bitter question is NO. Thanks for letting us know you don't understand the process, though--saves me time and effort.
If he wins his primary, he'll get some money. But given that he's done the "Go Negative" thing, too, and is acting more like George Allen than anyone else in his approach to campaigning, it's unlikely that he'll beat his opponent.
