More Sanders staffers exit campaign

[leftynyc]

Meanwhile, both California Operations Director Paul Betancourt and Constituency Outreach Director Masha Mendieta were let go last week following the departure of State Director Michael Ceraso, meaning only one member of the senior leadership team is left in place in the state with most delegates at stake.

Veteran Sanders operative Robert Becker, who led the team in Iowa, took over for Ceraso last week after Ceraso left following strategic disagreements with members of campaign leadership over his wish to spend more on field and digital organizing rather than television advertising.

9. Rats? Rats? really? this is why i'm not coming together with the likes of you.

That's your hillary too!

Rats? THIS is the perfect example of the Hillary campaign. Nasty...

11. I agree, totally uncalled for.

At least rats are good food for my cats.

2. So, what is his plan? Doesn't he need a full-court press in CA for any chance?

His rhetoric doesn't match his actions, can anyone clarify?

3. If they want to continue having careers, unless Bernie quickly does something about Nevada,

they really have no choice but to leave. Staying on the campaign is implicitly approving of these tactics.

4. Damn that sucks!

Bernie's last good shot at making this close is California.

5. old news we've seen this before posted here and LBN but if it makes you feel better to spread manure

go for it, only makes our field more fertile and BTW the article contradicts itself unless Becker is Sanders only staff member in CA

Spread manure? Is there reason to believe this story is a lie? Serve up the proof. I see you're still firmly in the denial stage. Carry on.

12. campaign staff changes are routine to claim they are proof the campaign is ending is manure

[Hortensis]

6. I wonder if the strategy the Nevada convention plot

had to have been part of (why did the Sanders Campaign instigate this, for what purpose?) has anything to do with staffers leaving. It could be that some things have only recently become clearer, and we don't know what is happening inside that campaign. They will all have signed confidentiality agreements, of course.

8. I agree that field/digital organizing is a better strat

[NurseJackie]

10. Things are looking pretty dismal for Bernie.

[Gothmog]

13. Sanders is lying about contested convention to keep small dollar donations coming

That lie is not working
