Why does the Democratic establishment so dislike Bernie Sanders? Consider this statistic:
Hillary Clinton has raised $26 million for the Democratic National Committee and state Democratic parties so far this campaign. And Sanders? $1,000.

I hear from Bernie supporters that they can enact single payer because of the “voters” they will add to the party that will take back the house and senate. Despite the fact that this is, in every sense, true nonsense, given Republicans control redistricting and have gerrymandered themselves a SAFE house majority, how is the DEMOCRATIC PARTY supposed to win seats when they dont have any money to compete?
TWENTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS — for YOUR house and YOUR senate and YOUR state parties…. compared to ONE THOUSAND.
How is Bernie supposed to have a majority when he wont financially aid his party…..isn’t he supposed to be a Democrat ???
Hillary will be the strongest candidate against the Republicans, AND she will help raise the necessary money to compete for house and senate candidates.
Bernie…. has left the party on its own.
