He is NOT asking for 37K a plate-- that was a DSSC event back in July to raise money for Senate campaigns. Not Sanders's own event
His fundraiser in Chicago for his own campaign was asking for as little as $50 a plate.

...I went to one of those DSCC retreats in Martha's Vineyard; you know, the one Bernie came to?

I've also chipped in $50,000 for the Convention Host Committee.

Any more questions?

people should do what they like with their hard earned money. Buying favors IMO when it costs others is different story though.
