Sanders was just on "All in" with Ali Velshi hosting for Chris Hayes.

[brush]

Velshi quoted a 538 figure that Democratic Party supported candidates are winning 89% or races against OR and democratic socialist candidates.

Sanders responded that they had more money backing them and maybe half ran unopposed.

Who's the enemy, for God's sake?

What happened to focusing on defeating repugs?

[Wellstone ruled]

1. This theme started yesterday AM

on NBC/MSNBC along with the Pelosi Bull Crap. Shades of 2016,got to make a horse race. Sells crap.

[brooklynite]

22. Wouldn't be a news story if a growing share of candidates weren't calling for new leadership

[get the red out]

27. This was my first thought

They can't help themselves but to try to destroy this country it seems.

[Wwcd]

2. Maybe time to look into where Sanders backed Pacs are stashing their cash

If its not going to the Sanders candidates, where's it going?

And yes, the Pacs do have A LOT of money..so?
Where's it going?

If his candidates are losing races because they have less funds than their opponants, as he claims, then where'd all the Pac money go?

Bernie should really be calling for accountability into the Pacs that endorse his candidates.

He should demand it.

[OnDoutside]

23. That's a very important point, which I haven't seen pointed out elsewhere.

[Wwcd]

28. It centers around Justice Democrats PAC & how they funnel their donations to other political groups

they created rather than to the candidates they endorse.
Hmmm...

This isn't the first I've read about this. Questions are being asked & rightfully so.

Here's the best read on what has raised eyebrows .

SNIP
JD is a PAC and it’s financial status can be found here:

https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00630665/

This shows they had collected $923,803.95 (in June 2017), of which they have spent $499,634.87. That left them with $424,169.08 cash on hand.

Interesting is where their money went: they have paid a large amount of money to Brand New Congress and some money to ActBlue Technologies, Inc (run by Zack Exley, one of the founders of JD).

In March 2017 JD announced it had teamed up with Brand New Congress.

So it appears that most of the money JD collects from donors, is funnelled to Brand New Congress, LLC and booked as “strategic consulting”.
MORE...

------
It appears they are billing new candidates for their endorsements.
And more.

Figures that Cenk was at the center of the PAC organization.
Red flag right there.
He is an old Republican

[OnDoutside]

30. I'm surprised the FEC aren't investigating this, or maybe they are ?

[still_one]

3. No surprise, the MSM has been trying to push the divisionary bullshit among Democrats for a while

now, and of course they decide to leverage the candidate that doesn't want to be identified as a Democrat.

I actually don't blame Sanders, but the f**king media.

Sanders is going to do what Sanders has always done, but the f**king media is always trying to stir this s**t up

[Tarheel_Dem]

4. So when Dems win it's cuz they have more money, but when OR wins, they have a better message?

Is that what we're supposed to believe? Isn't it just possible that hardcore Democrats remember 2016, and how OR was born?

[Cha]

11. How candidates endorsed by selected people and groups have fared in 2018..

Dems Win because they're Better Candidates..

Tarheel

[EffieBlack]

12. Yeah, but but

but something

[oasis]

13. lol

[JCanete]

20. Right...like you haven't heard the very valid argument by now that you'll just gloss over to gloat.

[Tarheel_Dem]

18. Interesting. So the 47% success rate they were bragging about last week was a lie?

Color me shocked!!! SHOCKED I SAY!!!!!

[Cha]

29. Oh yeah, shocking.

[Cha]

5. "Maybe"? He doesn't know? Maybe

he shouldn't make statements he doesn't know what he's talking about.

[wasupaloopa]

6. What difference does it make if we are trying to be united for 2018? What ever Democrat wins we

should support her/him Whether they were OR or not we need to win the seat.

[Me.]

7. Bernie Has Lots Of Money

but his wife is handing it over to her son and who knows what else it is being blown on aside from that and Tad Devine

[Power 2 the People]

8. Gee wiz, another Bernie thread

Haven't seen one in at least 37 seconds.

[brush]

9. He's always on the news shows. Gotta keep relevant for 2020.

[Cha]

10. Yeah.. if he wouldn't be on tv all the time..

maybe we could get some damn rest.

[EffieBlack]

14. You complete me ...

[Cha]

16. LOL!

[betsuni]

15. Ha!

[Cha]

17. ..

[JCanete]

19. Where's the enemy? The reporting that is ignoring that very obvious reality, or Sanders for pointing

it out when people attempt to throw cold water on the movement he's a part of? What exactly do you think the answer should be to that kind of question?

[lovemydogs]

21. Hooray! You hit it brush. What happened to fighting repugs.

I am so sick of those who obsessed on hating Sanders and people who want to move left. Fighting with those who do not love Clintonism and centrism. Who feel it is time to move on to something else and energize the party.
I'm sick of this idea that those who are progressive are not real democrats.
And so very sick of focusing on hating progressives instead of fighting against repugs.
Afterall, it is not progressives who are the enemy. It is republicans

[SkyDancer]

24. Here is the interview in full

Some are certainly cherry picking what Bernie said

[LexVegas]

25. He is desperately trying to stay relevant.
