More Bernie Sanders staffers exit campaign

A handful of high-level staffers have left Bernie Sanders’ campaign in recent days, including his director of technology and three of the four members of his original senior leadership team in California — a state his team has said is critical to his bid for the Democratic nomination.

The moves come at a time of contraction for the campaign, which let go of hundreds of field staffers earlier this month amid slowed fundraising.

Zach Schneider, among the campaign’s lead tech staffers, voluntarily left on Friday after six months when the in-house text messaging program he had been working on was cut, he told POLITICO.

Text For Bernie, the campaign’s program for having volunteers send text messages to targeted individuals — voters in primary states on Election Day, for example — had been run for the first few months of the campaign through a third-party company called Hustle before Schneider and his team developed their own program in time to get out the vote for this month’s Indiana primary.

1. Paid Hillary shills! All of them!

[Agnosticsherbet]

2. An image of a campaign in a downward spiral.

8. Or it could be just the normal ebb and flow of staff with most campaigns *shrug*

Regardless if its Hillary or Bernie who wins the Democratic nomination and the office of President we all win as long as it keeps Trump and any of the Republicans out of the office.

20. Are you a Berniebro ?

30. Is "Berniebro" a term all people who applaud striking women use, or just you?

31. Sanders campaign has a ‘penchant for violence.’

I hope the DNC brings a good SWAT team to the convention to protect us from Berniebro's.

[Gore1FL]

32. I see credibility isn't something you value.

It sort of all makes sense now.

later.

4. I guess that is what happens when you ask the DNC for recommendations on who to hire for the

campaign.

[Nitram]

22. Oh, right, it must be the DNC's fault! I knew it!

We know it couldn't be Bernie's fault because he's not in charge of his own campaign.

[LiberalArkie]

23. No it is his fault for putting his trust into the DNC and NGP-VAN who both had come out in

support for HRC before Sanders did. He asked them who do you recommend for data director on down the line. He did a stupid thing in trusting his opponent.

[Nitram]

24. C'mon guys, take a little responsibility.

Sander's vetted everybody he hired, didn't he?

[LiberalArkie]

25. Who better to vet someone with than the DNC and Obama

The data director worked work Obama in 2008, the SC chairwoman that quit right before the election worked for. I can't remember whether it was Obama or Clinton. So they were seasoned campaign veterans. And generally I don't think that a candidates hiring group asked if the person is going to stab him in the back.

I think he was too naive about hiring people and a national election.

I think Bobby Kennedy was too naive in what his competitors would do also. But that is just my CT.

[Nitram]

26. Vetting does not consist of asking someone if they are going to stab you in the back.

[LiberalArkie]

27. Yea I know. And that is why we have a 2 party system and probably always will.

[azurnoir]

5. more routine stuff one quit and was replacedd another had a gasp in house text program cut

but we've seen this tactic before so go with it

I Smell a Big Rat, who were they really working for?

[Pauldg47]

7. Absolutely true!

[happynewyear]

11. +1

10. +1

[Cali_Democrat]

13. These people weren't working for Bernie? nt

[leftynyc]

15. Haven't you gotten it yet?

Bernie is perfection. The only way he could have lost is people ON HIS OWN CAMPAIGN were sabotaging him. Otherwise he would have won every single primary state all all 50 in the general. You really need to get with the program.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

17. +1...

...eom.

[4now]

14. Their must be some reason why this is not BS fault

[leftynyc]

16. As you can see above

they were OBVIOUSLY working for Hillary the entire time. Because Bernie is perfect and a bird landed on a podium (or something).

[pressbox69]

18. Indeed

because the little bird told them so.

[Nitram]

21. For those who can read, the writing is on the wall.

28. go Bernie!!
