Also, that's a very poor argument. You are using an ad the candidate you believe is dishonest ran in 2008 to prove that Bernie Sanders is honest. Somehow that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
It shows her ability to change her opinion when it's politically expedient to do so.

Politically expedient. You mean like Bernie when he became a Democrat after decades of saying he was proud not to be one?

Or this?

[URL="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/how-the-nra-helped-put-bernie-sanders-in-congress/2015/07/19/ed1be26c-2bfe-11e5-bd33-395c05608059_story.html"]How the National Rifle Association helped get Bernie Sanders elected[/URL]

"As a candidate in 1990, Sanders won over gun rights groups by promising to oppose one bill they hated — a measure that would establish a waiting period for handgun sales. In Congress, he kept that promise. The dynamic served as an early demonstration that, despite his pure-leftist persona, Sanders was at his core a pragmatic politician, calculating that he couldn’t win in rural Vermont without doing something for gun owners."

Actually most of the money she's raising is going to the Democratic Party. Anyway, I don't see how she is buying my vote. I listen to both candidates carefully and make my own decisions.

"Clinton, who has helped Democratic campaign committees and state parties raise money for the 2016 elections, twice emphasized how important she believes it is to help congressional Democrats. Sanders, an independent, is taking a wait-and-see approach."

I wish more questions like these would be asked at the debates.

Clinton is hypocrite. She whines about being attacked for taking money from big oil but did the exact same thing against Obama and she in fact ridiculed his answer about it only being from employees. And lets not even mention the money she takes from third party sources, law firms and banks heavily invested in oil & gas.

Great, plenty of those are superdelegates and she is buying their loyalty by funneling money from Wall Street and big pharma. They have money coming out of their ears (after ripping off the American people) and the $2700 contribution limit is nothing for them. Of course they are looking to donate more any way they can. Thats not democracy.

"Shouldn't Bernie Sanders hold some responsibility?"

Why would he even go there? He can't possibly control all of his supporters, no one can. The bullies are responsible for their own actions, not him.
