Maddow talking of how Sanders has not raised any $$ down ticket for Democrats...

1. I'm listening too.

He's busted!.....

[BlueCaliDem]

10. Last month Hillary Clinton raised an additional $6.1 million for down-ballot Democrats!

Add that to the $21 million she's already raised so far for down-ballot Dems for a cool $27.1 million.

Sanders? A big fat ZERO. We get hot air and empty promises.

Because, you know, the Revolution shouldn't cost him anything and he's not really a Democrat, so why should he give more than signing a fund-raising letter? Cold hard cash goes into his coffers and his coffers alone. But, of course, pledged and super-delegates will switch over to him because of his electrifying personality.

[stopbush]

2. Yep. The fund raising he's doing now for Ds is the exact same

fund raising he's done for years.

Obviously, he will not do any more fund raising than that unless he wins the nomination.

Slime.

[riversedge]

4. Sanders 'has his hands full" she said. yada yada!

[riversedge]

3. Brought up Jane Sanders who was on last night who said her husband

was continuing to send out letters and help Democrats. Seems he is really only doing what he was doing before he entered the race (raises money for Senate Dems--)

No new fundraising--might do it in the fall.--- She had on a National reporter for the NYTimes who is following the Sanders campaign.

[BlueCaliDem]

6. I saw that! I guess Sanders thinks the Revolution has to be FREE, and that candidates more to his

liking will boot Democrats out in down-ballot races ALL FOR FREE.

I.O.W., "I will decide whether to raise funds for down-ballot Democrats if they do as I say and I like them - AND if I win the nomination." That's political blackmail.

And these so-called Liberals who support him are okay with that? Would they be okay with that had Senator Obama or Secretary Clinton had done the same thing to their Dear Leader?

[riversedge]

11. I think something has to give soon! Next fall is too late. Dems need to

make an issue of it. Perhaps put out a press release like Sanders does--make it public.

[DURHAM D]

15. I don't really consider U.S. Senators down ticket races.

Down ticket means state level House/Senate, U.S. House, etc. maybe even school board.

btw - I watched as a BS supporter approached a Hillary staff member (during the run-up to the state caucus) and ask for a set of call lists of registered Democrats for the state house seat he is running for. The staff member responded that she would be glad to help and they made arrangements to meetup the following day or day after for the hand-off.

I asked the staff member about the granted request a little later because I was surprised at her response. She told me that Hillary has emphatically stated that they are to meet all of these requests even if they are delegates or supporters or endorses of Bernie Sanders. So, the Clinton campaign is spending their own money in filling the role of the state and national party organizations. Kind of sad if you think about it.

I am certain the BS campaign is not and will not be doing the same.

22. so great! so cool!

HRC camp doing this!! Thanks for telling us!!!

5. Lately I've missed having actual cable, and somehow the internet is still missing live video.

Now I know how the generations before me who believed they'd have flying cars by now feel.

[HillareeeHillaraah]

9. Can u run the MSNBC app? Like on a phone? It has a live stream... N/T

[IamMab]

12. Doesn't seem to be one for Android. Plus I'd probably need a cable login to access live stuff.

That's the way it is online, and that's for day-old content.

[fleabiscuit]

19. At this point I'd settle for working self driving cars. :-)

[HillareeeHillaraah]

7. He's got time to attend a conference in Rome though

So clearly there's wiggle room in his schedule, but his hands are full running for president.

How much does that trip to Rome in a private plane cost anyway? And can he ethically charge it to his campaign. Curious to see how that plays out....

He won't have nearly the fund raising prowess after losing the primary - Rove will stop funding him. So I don't know how much help his plan to address this in the fall will be.

[OhZone]

8. Maybe he thinks converting to Catholic will help him? nt

[Thinkingabout]

13. Hillary understands the need for down ticket Democrats to be elected.

Those professional protesters has not changed anything so they are not effective.

[Lucinda]

14. Good. I wish she would address this nonsense Margo Kidder has written

about how evil Hillarys Victory Fund is. Trying to spin party fundraising as evil is beyond crazy.

[DURHAM D]

16. Margo Kidder? Didn't realize she was out and about.

from her wiki entry -

Kidder has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which led to a widely publicized manic episode in April 1996. She disappeared for four days, having become a street person. She was found in a back yard by a homeowner and was taken by Los Angeles police to Olive View Medical Center in a distressed state, the caps on her teeth having fallen out. She was later placed in psychiatric care.[22] In 2007, Kidder said that she had not had a manic episode in 11 years.

[Lucinda]

20. Yeah...she wrote a crazy article that was on DU yesterday that claims

Hillary's Victory Fund is a scam to funnel money to her, even though open secrets has a full breakdown about the money being raised for the GE and exactly where it goes.

HERE

I will be so glad when all the pseudo Dems pack it up and leave after the primaries are over.

[BlueMTexpat]

17. Kidder has apparently been living in

my birth state of MT for the past few years and has gone full-out paranoid in her activism.

Those whom I know in-state think she is nuts.

[Lucinda]

21. It's a shame to see her junk getting airtime on DU. The notion that raising funds

for the GE is some suversive financial corruption is pure craziness. I linked to her article in the answer to the post above if you want to read it.

18. Margo Kidder's Canadian isn't she?

As is Ted Cruz and Charles Krauthammer.
