Bernie can't control what these donors do. He can denounce it and say he doesn't want it,
but they could still do supportive stuff anyway.. super-pacs aren't supposed to "coordinate"
with the candidate anyway.

I don't know how Hillary could make something of it under theses circumstances; esp. since
she's got super-pacs up the wazoo.

I hear your concern, and am also playing a bit of devil's advocacy as well.
