What Bernie Sanders Is Doing With All that Money He's Raising - Fortune

His rhetoric is nice and idealistic to hear and it has energized many young people, but reality is cold and hard.

So you are attacking the corrupt system of campaign finance now. This is great Daywalk. The problem is that your candidate doesnt support public funding of elections and is steeped in the corrupt system of campaign finance you claim to hate.

Because that article simply points out that to compete, a person must spend millions on ads from Comcast, Time Warner and other media corporations that have pushed hard for Hillary to be the nominee. There is no other choice. Either we fight, donate, volunteer or we just decide to give up and by extension decide to let the billionaire class decide our future.

A truly new low from Fortune, the plutocratic rag owned by a billionaire who do not care about you and me, Daywalk, and will do what it takes to get their puppets into office, which of course includes your dear Hillary.

Desperation is really setting in.

I did see Bernie scored a big win with another huge loss for Hillary today when the (D)'s were able to go against Obama and filibuster his trade bill.

No ****, Sherlock. I don't think most people, donating to Bernie's CAMPAIGN, were expecting that money to go to starving children in Africa.

I don't see a problem with this. He should be able to spend it on spreading the word.

And explain to me again about how Bernie is utilizing public funding of elections? Oh, that's right, Hypocrite Bernie says one thing but does another. Why people put him on a pedestal is beyond comprehension.

Right! He just as beholden to his donors as Hillary is. What a tool.

If Bernie has any integrity, he should stop accepting donations. don't get me wrong, Bernie can carry on with campaigning until whenever he wishes to and his supporters have the right to keep donating to him, but it should be Bernie himself who should stop receiving donations. While not yet been mathematically eliminated, he has a long shot and the chance of his nomination is just low, he should manage his campaign money wisely and stop burning them out quickly with people's money knowing his chance is slim.
