Clinton camp: Sanders 'inventing grievances' to 'keep the fundraising spigot on'

[bigtree]

Brian Fallon ?@brianefallon

Facing long odds, Sanders is inventing grievances & nonexistent paths to the nomination to rile his supporters & keep fundraising spigot on

[geek tragedy]

1. Bernie is a form of virtual reality entertainment.

They get to insult Hillary Clinton vicariously through him.

27. here is some reality

2. Don't you think for one second, you can say why I donate to Bernie Sanders.

We are kicking your azzes! All factual!

[Bill USA]

9. Do you think you can say why you donate to BS??

[Mother Of Four]

18. Because I give a damn about my kids future, and everyone else's kids future.

Because I want a planet that's welcoming to my grandchildren.

Because even though my husband and I would be MUCH better off due to his line of work with a corporate wonk or war hawk I love my kids more than myself. We are more than willing to take that hit for their future, and yours.

Because I'm a human being that cares about other human beings instead of "I've got mine, screw you"

Because I'm tired of being lied to, tricked, bait and switched.

Because there is no way in hell I want someone in the white house that owes favors to corporations or other political figures.

Because I want someone who doesn't just put their money where their mouth is, but actually risks themselves.

Because every time I drive down the road I'm reminded just how bad our infrastructure is falling apart.

Because I stop on a regular basis to give the homeless man that begs at the intersection food or money, and think that NO ONE should have to live like that.

Because I run into people like the woman at lowes today, and strike up a conversation ... and drift to things like education and how our school system is running teachers ragged and letting our kids down.

Because my older daughter is going to be a teacher as well and I want her to take JOY in it, not worry every day if something essential will be cut.

Because my younger daughter is gay, and I don't want someone who took until 2013 or still hasn't realized to this day that SHE IS A PERSON with the same rights as everyone else.

Because I value our soldiers, and their lives should never be wasted on wars for money.

Because I truly feel with every fiber of my being that a senior citizen, or ANY citizen should never have to choose between food or medicine. Medical treatment for an illness, or keeping the lights on.

I donate to Bernie because I believe he is one of the last of a dying breed, an honest person in politics. He's imperfect, he's flawed, he can be loud.... but dammit I trust him to CARE about us. He's been putting himself forward for over 40 years.

[Armstead]

20. Excellent response

[Bill USA]

21. & buy all the GOP propaganda about Hill and so will put Trump in the WH is Bernie is Dem candidate

and you think Bernie can do half of what he is promising. LOL! Amazing how gullible the entirely uninformed are.

Bernie Sanders’s Conservative Fanboys (American CrossRoads & other Conservative PACs) - DailyBeast


"Bernie Sanders has been in Congress for 25 years with little to show for it"

[JesterCS]

24. You're a special kinda silly

If you think Bernie would lose to trump. Clinton is more likely to lose

[Mother Of Four]

25. I see how you are now -

You get an honest and impassioned response, a sincere and legitimate response and reply with LOL and calling someone gullible.

I really feel sorry for you, your life must be pretty damn unfulfilling.

Don't bother responding, after this reply I'm typing now you've lost my interest.

[tokenlib]

43. For over twenty five years The Third Way/New Dems have stunk up the party..

..and who let those bed bugs and cockroaches into the party? The Clintons..
Voting lesser of evils? Nowhere to go? Not this time...

[Newkularblue]

30. Bless you

Finding other like minded people gives me hope.

[tokenlib]

44. Peace and blessings to you!! And another donation to Bernie!! n/t

[SoLeftIAmRight]

29. one of many reasons

[revbones]

3. Yeah, cuz his fund-raising was drying up before the recent "grievance" rofl nt.

[reformist2]

11. I think it speaks volumes about how worried THEY are worried about money...

[Yurovsky]

31. Exactly... All her 1%ers are beginning to wonder if they wasted their money...

Just look at where each of them are getting their money. Which group would you rather stand shoulder to shoulder with? The average folks who are sending $10 or $20 to Bernie? Or the corporate suits stroking checks bigger than 3 years of your pay?

If you picked the group with all the Wall Street CEOs, you might want to stop and reflect on your party affiliation... Just sayin'...

[SHRED]

4. Oh yeah? Why no details?

More poo flinging at Bernie.

I thought they had the math? What's their worry?

[bigtree]

7. my take >

Josh Marshall ?@joshtpm 4h4 hours ago

my take >Sanders camp doubles down on big lie, plays w/fire for November. Jeff Weaver seems to be carrying the ball http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/not-good-not-good-at-all--2 …

[Politicalboi]

5. Maybe he should speak for Goldman Sac's

The NRA and Hollywood movie stars homes. Bernie is NOT a political whore. He gets money from the "people" not assholes and corporations.

Telling the truth is not grievances for Bernie. Hillary is Bernt Toast.

[Yurovsky]

32. She sold out to the very people who are crushing poor & working class Americans...

and her supporters wonder why many of us REFUSE to support her...

For the record, I would gladly vote for her if she were the nominee and renounced her corporate ownership and returned all of the dirty money she and Bill have sucked up over the past decade.

I'm not holding my breath...

[whatchamacallit]

6. Bogus as it is, I view this approach as an improvement over the

"Sanders is shaking you down before he disappears into the night" smear.

[azurnoir]

8. yep be sure to stay classy

[Fumesucker]

12. Every scurrilous attack motivates me to make another donation

[rachacha]

13. Sanders needs more help? Thanks for the reminder.

I haven't donated in over a week.

[bigtree]

15. money down the drain

...spending it on his losing campaign almost as fast as he can raise it.

[Yurovsky]

34. I wonder if HRC's sponsors at Goldman Sachs are wondering the same thing...

she either loses now or loses in November. Of course, their checks may dry up if she gets the nomination because the 1%ers probably figure they win either way...

[bigtree]

39. it should be noted

...that most of the money she's raised in this campaign is in reserve for the fight against the republican nominee.

Sanders, on the other hand, is spending his supporters money almost as fast as he gets it.

[Sunlei]

14. I expect Senator Sanders to stay in & be a Voice through the entire party process.

Compete in every State, and speak at the actual nomination convention.

[bigtree]

16. very likely

[Bluenorthwest]

17. Still working the classic dog whistles I see.

Camp Clinton never fails in that regard.

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. Do not try to tell me the Clinton campaign did not say this in a couple of days ok

[TheFarS1de]

45. Selective amnesia is all the rage these days

...but they will we all know it . No policy other than attack and smear .

[PufPuf23]

22. Pathetic OP. eom

[sadoldgirl]

23. Funny, I just heard the opposite

HRC needs the cash, because most of the $2,700 donors
have given already. Thus she need this to reinvigorate
more donors.

Never mind though, thank you for the reminder
to send Bernie a little bit more.

[GreatGazoo]

33. Yes. Invented = Token-gate and Qualified-gate

and Sarandon and 5 other petty things every other day that have nothing to do with the issues or how to fix any of the things that are now so desperately wrong with our economy and our healthcare system.

[bigtree]

36. most of the money raised by Hillary is in a general election fund

...Sanders is spending his supporters cash as fast as they send it.

[nichomachus]

26. Maybe he should set up a money-laundering scheme

Excuse me, I mean "foundation."

[mhatrw]

28. LOL. Time to put the gloves back on?

[bigtree]

35. 2.4 million-plus more votes for Hillary

...and some of her best contests ahead for the finishing rounds.

That has to bern.

[mhatrw]

37. The estimate is now 2.1 million votes including WI and the caucus states.

And that will be wiped out before the primary season is over.

Weird how you avoided the point, though.

How does complaining about Sanders' inventing perceived slights jibe with the Clinton campaign's promise to go scorched earth on Sanders?

[bigtree]

40. there's aren't enough delegate rich states left

...not really interested in following the 'points' you're making.

[Gothmog]

38. Sanders needs grievances because it is clear to most people that he has no chance of being nominee

The rather amusing plan to appeal to super delegates had no chance of success

[2pooped2pop]

41. Shit I better go donate then.

[bigtree]

42. lol

...the circle is complete.
