Per Politico on my phone. The Sanders campaign is releasing field workers in Indiana.

Updated: As pointed out, the layoffs took place in states that already voted. Time to stop reading my phone on the run.

8. Good.

[Nedsdag]

9. Well, start dancing!

This is what you wanted, right?

[randome]

13. Doubt it. Most of us wanted teamwork and letting voters decide the nominee.

That's what has occurred.

10. Interesting news. Sounds like he'll be scaling

back his campaign efforts going forward. Not surprising.

Has he made any statements or appearances today? Maybe he's in meetings again, as he was following New York.

[Armstead]

35. Yep he did an interview

Said he's going to keep on campaigning, and then he's going to the convention...

If he's not the nominee, he is going to push to have positions on the agenda. can't force Clinton to do anything, but he said he hopes the nominee will look at his positions and the millions of people who support them, and incorporate that into her message message and agenda.

11. Link to the story would be nice.

Or is this just more BS?

[MineralMan]

12. See #7.

Thanks.

Sanders campaign begins laying off staff

"We're 80 percent of the way through the caucuses and primaries and we make adjustments as we go along. This is a process that we’ve done before of right-sizing the campaign as we move through the calendar," said Sanders' campaign communications director Michael Briggs.

While Sanders has raised large amounts of money online, and started April with $17 million according to his most recent Federal Election Commission report, he has also spent at a very high rate, including $46 million in March. It is unclear how much money his campaign currently has on hand.

Sanders has had a large field organizing presence all over the country, and Wednesday’s cuts are the first significant scaling back of his campaign apparatus now that the majority of states have voted in the primary.

While he insisted to an Indiana crowd on Wednesday that he is still in the race to win it, he has also suggested that he is aiming to influence the Democratic platform if Clinton is the candidate.

Still, Sanders is likely to win a handful of states in May, and he is competing heavily in California and Indiana.

17. +1

22. Wouldn't you keep them in place preparing for the GE??

If you had any chance of being the nominee, you'd have those folks working from the day after their state primary through the GE.

[jfern]

21. Nope, not in Indiana, just in the states that voted yesterday.

Keep up the great Hillsplaining!

[JoePhilly]

23. See my post above yours.

[B Calm]

37. They are spinning, you'd think they would get dizzy.

[workinclasszero]

24. Must be running out of 27 dollar donations

Primary is over and Hillary won. Looks like its finally sinking in this time.

[democrattotheend]

38. Guess I'll have to give him another one

Who else is with me? https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/lets-go-bernie?refcode=homepage_main_nav

[JaneyVee]

26. Hundreds of staff.

[Hoyt]

27. Can't take credit, but someone said, "proof Sanders can't guarantee employment and income."

[mcar]

28. Hmmm

[kstewart33]

29. Looks like he's putting everything he has in California.

Bernie knows he can't win, but a California win would give him some momentum to the convention. At least he hopes.

30. Sanders small dollar donors are drying up

Without the hope (real or imagined) of Sanders becoming the nominee, it appears that Sanders small dollar donors are drying up. Sanders has been spending money at an incredible rate outspending Clinton two to one in most states and still losing. You can not keep up that burn rate unless the small dollar contributions keep rolling in

[PyaarRevolution]

32. Never mind he has to spent a good deal of money to fight back the scummy SuperPAC's Hillary has.

That are spend god knows how much more money.

[aikoaiko]

34. Time for another donation.

[B Calm]

36. Kicking

[DCBob]

39. Sure sign the end is near.

41. Bernie's Cash Pot is Growing...Donations Pile In!

'S Hillary's going to have to go back out to Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Wall Street to Refresh her Money Pot. And, then there is her Overseas Fundraising Trip to bring in More Buckets of Money.

Bernie has His and She has Hers.

He is fine!

[RandySF]

42. Bernie spent twice what Hillary did in NY

Those big rallies aren't cheap
