So when is funds go dry, he will be all forgotten.

For months after announcing his White House bid, Bernie Sanders didn’t run a single campaign commercial on television. But he was everywhere online: emails, social media posts and paid ads on desktop computers and mobile devices.

Sanders has spent $10 million building a presence on the Internet, more than anyone else running for president this year
( and that was in February )

1. We're not going away.

And if he needs more cash we'll send it. Enough with the premature gravedancing and belittling those actually trying to make a difference. It doesn't help your candidate.

Sanders Legacy or lack thereof is his own choosing....

3. We'll be here holding her feet to the fire.

Which is the responsibility of the people in a democracy.

4. They don't get it.

They think it's about Bernie, or Hillary, or the Democratic Party- or even just this election cycle. It's not- never has been. It's about a broken and corrupt political and economic system that is crushing the middle class and poor of this country. The status quo is not sustainable. There will be a revolution- how it goes down is the only question.

7. Could not have said it better. They really do not understand.

9. What is sustainable is up to the voters - and they do not share Sanders and your world view.

5. That Hillary SuperPAC buying trolls means nothing to you?

you should put less after the fact part of your user name.

8. Recent member- low post count- five hides already.

Just sayin'.

[hobbit709]

10. He had some of those hides before a 100 post count too.

Which used to get you MIRTed pretty damn quick along with a name change.

18. Sid vetted em.

[amborin]

11. WOW! Totally Misleading OP! Read links--Bernie bought online Ads, that's it! the rest all volunteers

OP misleadingly makes it sound as if Bernie had to do what Hilllary has to do: buy online support. NOT SO!

Bernie has hoards of online volunteers who willingly tweet, post, etc.....for FREE! B/C we're fighting for our
democracy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[amborin]

12. you should delete this totally misleading OP

[Sky Masterson]

13. Gotta make that money

Clinton campaign expects spammy misleading results for their million $$ investment.

19. Another OP with no thought behind it. You do realize it's the 21st Century? Analytics aren't cheap!

What this does is highlight the ineptitude of the other campaigns for not preparing for today's environment.

If you applied a few brain cells to the messaging, it partly explains why SBS was surging in the late hours.


Campaigns would behoove themselves to follow suit, especially when entering the General.
