Sanders 4Q fundraising: $33 M; COH $28

42. Pardon me if I am suspicious of DNC current leadership

I find it pretty interesting that they have shown no active interest in arranging for any joint fundraising events with the Sanders campaign. Maybe there is bad blood now flowing both ways. If so that wouldn't exactly surprise me. But I trust Sanders to do what is right for the American people. If Clinton wins the Democratic nomination he will help work to elect her while remaining true to his vision. He has run a very civil campaign against Clinton to the point where I have seen several high profile political pundits conclude that he isn't really running to win because of his avoidance of hard hitting negative attacks on Clinton.

We can also do without more slurs against supporters of any of our candidates. It helps nothing and only spreads more bad blood. There are strident supporters of all major political figures, we all tend to notice the ones who oppose the people who we support. Qualifying a put down by saying "some" or "many" instead of "all" doesn't make it all better. The vast majority of supporters of any of our candidates are good people with good Democratic values who will be fully with us on election day.
