Bernie's fundraising is NOT fraud. I have seen A LOT of FRAUD in politics and business

and this ain't it.

Camp Clinton is so desperate to try to derail his fundraising which begs the question why?

Why worry about Bernie if everything is okay in Camp Clinton's world?

And you know what. It really pisses me off that you describe Bernie as a Fraud. And I am sure I am far from the only one.

Raising money to compete in a state that will go for the democratic nominee by double digits in November. There is absolutely no benefit to for a big campaign in California other than to serve Bernie's vanity.

We're supposed to divert the contributions we would make to Bernie to Hillary to thank her for treating us with contempt. She will never get a penny from me, nor will she ever get my vote.

Sanders has received a lot of money but it's little money. It's not the amount but the source.

While your billionaires try to push Clinton into the WH, the average Americans are donating to stop that.

Many of them know what their money is going to. Better it goes to a democrat than no one or someone else.

You may be willing to accept Sanders lack of a path but do not pretend that anyone believes that Sanders will be the nominee
