far! Talk about a waste of money!

As someone said, maybe it was you, BrotherIvan, above, 'why doesn't she just sell herself on the issues or spend some of that money attacking Republicans (who I heard, she plans to 'work with') rather than another Democratic candidate?

Right there is a good thing for Bernie's supporters when campaigning for him, to point out how his Dem opponents are not talking about issues, don't want to debate, but are spending their time and their corporate dollars attempting to stop him from running on behalf of the people.

We can then point out that Bernie has never run a negative ad, doesn't need to smear and personally attack his opponents, won't be spending any Corporate dollars, since he doesn't take them anyhow, digging up dirt on them rather than talking about the issues.

People are sick to death of these campaigns where no one is talking about issues but are busy attacking each other.
