7. I recall they used that same exact ATTACK on Barack Obama in 2007 and 2008. Repeatedly.

over and over again -- AND OBAMA REFUSED. He refused to give money to Harry Reid. He refused to give to Howard. Obama did not create a fundraising agreement with the DNC until mid-May.

So I think we can give Bernie a pass until at least mid-May.

Do you know who COULD raise money for down-ticket races???

How about two people whose ACTUAL JOB it is to raise money for Democratic candidates in down-ticket races -- the DNC (Debbie) and the head of the Party - Barack Obama.

We already know that Obama can fund-raise better than anyone.

All he would have to do is put out a rousing ten-second request in an internet ad over several forms of social media. The intake would be UNBELIEVABLY HIGH. SO WHY doesn't he do that? Instead he will go to perhaps ten insider/rich people $2000 dollar-per-plate events later this year.

I REALLY, REALLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE PARTY AND THEIR METHODS - THEY ARE SO BLIND WHEN IT COMES TO NEW TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIAL MEDIA.
