No Billionaires for Bernie: Alone Among Democratic Frontrunners, Sanders Gets No Cash From Wealthies

42. Don't care at all.

With what’s at stake it’s absolutely foolish for any candidate to refuse funding from legal sources thus harming their own chances and the chances of the party to prevail against this fascist shift our country is taking.

The whole notion that candidates are “bought and paid” for as a result of campaign support is absurd in the very least, excepting those few instances where there is evidence of quid pro quo as a result.

I think it’s more telling of the very flawed personal character of those who do have such low esteem of the integrity of the majority of our candidate base than it is of the character of our candidate base itself.

If it’s legal, and there’s no evidence of quid pro quo, then the disgusting insinuation and condemnation is absurd. Period.

I refuse to question the character of any candidate that accepts legal and transparent funding, without any indication or evidence of quid pro quo, and will not allow my support be swayed by such ridiculous notions.
