We need the down ticket candidates elected to make the bills which become law.

to other Democratic candidates. Show us. And you admit you have raised nothing, nada, zilch, zero for Democratic campaigns this election cycle. Thanks a lot Bernie.

On "this Week with George Stephanopoulos

STEPHANOPOULOS: Let's get a response now from Senator Bernie Sanders. He's here live in the studio this morning. Senator Sanders, welcome back.

You just heard Secretary Clinton right there. Implicit defense of her fundraisers in California last night saying she's raising money for Democrats. By contrast, her campaign has said that's something you haven't done.

SANDERS: That's not accurate, George. We have over the years sent out a lot of letters for Democratic candidates.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Not in this campaign.

SANDERS: No, not in this campaign. But in the past, we have, and raised millions of dollars for Democratic candidates.

I'll just bet while being an Independent Sanders "raised millions of dollars for Democratic candidates" all by his lonesome. Wait! maybe when a card was being passed around he signed his name along with many others--like at an office birthday party!

They're actively attacking the idea that politicians who want to work together on common issues should help raise money to get each other elected.

I would need to damage my own gray matter to be able to understand how that sort of logic makes any sense.

profiting from maligning Hillary, as well. His entire platform consists of hating on those two and conflating them for cash of his own.

You are right! His own "letter" is just a more dishonest way of asking for the same thing all other candidates ask for. At least the Democrats are more honest about it than his smear letters. He can't or won't even name any wrongdoing by Hillary to benefit Wall Street, but that doesn't matter. Just mention Hillary! Wall Street! and that means Send Money.

Total BS. Sick of this phoniness.
