Yes, he won according to the People.
We should expect Corporate entities to say otherwise
Sanders Seeks to Convert Donor Ferver into Campaign Power
The contrast in how Bernie spends the People's money and how Hillary spends her donations is stark!
While payroll was Clinton's greatest expense, for Sanders it was "campaign paraphernalia," FEC documents show. Most of that went to Tigereye Promotions LLC, which says online that it is "a union shop specializing in promotional products," such as T-shirts.
Sanders' no-frills approach to the race showed up in his spending report. His campaign paid for about $4,000 in room reservations through Airbnb, an Internet sharing service that's often cheaper than hotel stays, and he uniformly traveled on commercial airlines.
I love that his Campaign Paraphernalia is Union Made!
Bernie doesn't waste the People's money. And he puts his money where his mouth is, towards Union Workers.
Even as a Candidate he is putting Union Workers to work.

(62,325 posts)how successful he has been doing what we were told, mostly by Corporate entities such as totally Corporate media talking heads, could NOT be done.
Bernie's is one of the most professional campaigns I have ever seen.
Of course if you call money spent on 'opposition research' and 'non issues related negative campaign ads, the politics of personal destruction, see Hillary's Citizens United facilitated David 'blinded by the money' Brock smear campaign that backfired, 'professional, then we are not of the same opinion on what constitutes Professional.

(19,877 posts)She spent it on investments on the long game that other candidates haven't even started spending on i.e. ground game expansion and offices across the country.

(62,325 posts)And we KNOW where that money is being spent. On lies and smears against Sanders. Is that an 'investment' on the long term?
Has she condemned those Super Pacs since she says she opposes CU yet?
In the meantime, it will be an absolute joy watching her defeat Republicans at their own game.

(62,325 posts)guess.
How about her acceptance of money from the Private Prison Industry which she also says she now opposes? Any ACTIONS taken on that yet?
See the problem with this for Hillary is that in this campaign, for the FIRST TIME, there is ONE candidate whose WORDS MATCH his ACTIONS.
That is making it very difficult for all the others to try to make excuses like 'oh that is money that is bundled, it's not a direct donation' or 'everyone has to do it'.
No, Bernie is not taking any bundled money that includes donations from nefarious organizations like the Private Prison Industry. What is the problem with simply matching your actions to your words, as he does.
