http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article84668257.htmlDemocratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders famously declared last year that Americans are "sick and tired" of hearing about presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clintons "damn emails" and her private server controversy.
But it was Sanders emails that generated much of the talk over the weekend at the Peoples Summit, a gathering of about 3,000 Sanders supporters who are trying to figure out how to keep the far-left momentum from his campaign alive once he exits the presidential race.
The Vermont senators presidential campaign has developed a formidable and valuable email list of donors that helped rake in nearly $207.7 million from about seven million individuals who donated in small amounts.
Asked Friday if Sanders should hand over his donor list to the Democratic National Committee or the Clinton campaign, a panel moderated by Democracy Now! co-host Juan Gonzalez voiced their opposition.

(1,957 posts)But that's all he got from the DNC and I'll bet the attitude in the establishment mirrored the way you were told to share your candy with your sib.
The amazing thing is the enthusiasm generated by him to get donations from that beginning list and then adding to it.
I'm sure the DNC establishment will learn nothing from the experience. They've already proved that weakness.
Afterall, it's always the fault of someone else.

(45,851 posts)You wouldn't want a campaign run on dirty money, would you?
Of course it has to be laundered, politics is dirty enough without it being buried in a pile of dirty money too.

You are one of the people who tempt me to say shit like that.

(1,957 posts)Mine was already "given" in some manner to the DNC.
There is no party affiliation requirement when registering here. So unless I made an active effort to get in the democratic party database here there is no way I could be known.
Yet sure enough after I went to the Bernie site on my own and donated, visited the local Bernie hq,
I get a send me money LETTER from Debbie.
A LETTER?
Lord, why are there so many glaring examples of incompetency in the DNC people?
