It's for the party.... msrizzo Jan 2016 #26

The money for the party is usually from people who have maxed out their donations to the campaign. BlueCheese Jan 2016 #17

a different reason's been reported bigtree Jan 2016 #24

the responses to that tweet seem to contradict it dlwickham Jan 2016 #55

She raised money for Democrats when she was a Senator, too. MADem Jan 2016 #30

His left over cash should go to the DNC once he concedes to Hillary. onehandle Jan 2016 #23

Interesting angle. joshcryer Jan 2016 #46

It's not an 'angle.' Often losing candidates cash go to the DNC. onehandle Jan 2016 #48

...but who signed a joint tundraising agreement with the DNC. brooklynite Jan 2016 #6

I'm sure the party will get plenty of money from it's corporate owners. hobbit709 Jan 2016 #3

Pretty impressive from both candidates. BlueCheese Jan 2016 #13

Impressive numbers, but Sanders raised zero dollars for the Democratic party... ProudToBeLiberal Jan 2016 #19

I'm sure down-ticket Dems know which candidate they'd like at the top. Metric System Jan 2016 #21

DNC didn't seem all that concerned during The Great Tea Party/GOP mid-terms, where we had our nc4bo Jan 2016 #44

This message was self-deleted by its author Motown_Johnny Jan 2016 #25

Sounds excellent! Nt nc4bo Jan 2016 #27

He AGREED to raise money for the party. MADem Jan 2016 #28

This is only going to fuel the fire that he doesn't care about the down ballot races ProudToBeLiberal Jan 2016 #31

Sanders is available for DNC fundraising Tom Rinaldo Jan 2016 #33

So, Sanders campaign isn't taking a proactive approach to helping the Democratic and state parties. ProudToBeLiberal Jan 2016 #34

I've been saying this for months...Bernie will not Party build Sheepshank Jan 2016 #47

Could you elaborate on this? How could Sanders actually do more harm than good if he gets the nod? uponit7771 Jan 2016 #58

$18 million vs $0 for the greater progressive cause is hard to argue with TekGryphon Jan 2016 #38

Pardon me if I am suspicious of DNC current leadership Tom Rinaldo Jan 2016 #42

Hasn't Sanders been flinging at them from the side for years now? tia uponit7771 Jan 2016 #59

He PROMISED and he PLEDGED. And that was a while ago. MADem Jan 2016 #49

All three candidates did dinners for the IA and NH Democratic Parties. NT Eric J in MN Jan 2016 #50

That's not DNC fundraising for downtickets--those are state shindigs, and they benefit the candidate MADem Jan 2016 #51

It's not the DNC, but it does help downballot in those states. NT Eric J in MN Jan 2016 #54

There are fifty states, and Sanders AGREED to fundraise. MADem Jan 2016 #56

For those asking for a link; here's an article to the WP ProudToBeLiberal Jan 2016 #29

Hillary Clinton is trying to replicate Dean's 50 state strategy. ProudToBeLiberal Jan 2016 #40

Do you feel that Hillary is bribe-able? Agschmid Jan 2016 #53
