Sanders Ad removal suggests that Hillary is NOT being "funded by big money interests"

What's the strategy Bernie?

I'm really trying to understand the Sanders campaign strategy, but with Tad Devine leading the way you never know.

It appears the Sanders campaign is suggesting, by removing this ad, that Hillary is not a 'funded by big money’ candidate.

They abruptly pulled an ad attacking Clinton as such.

If the Sanders campaign thinks Clinton is not big money funded, then why are his supporters convinced this is his strategy and why is the campaign pulling ads that supposedly compares the two candidates?

My take. I know that Bernie speaks from the heart, but he’s a politician and smart politicians do not burn bridges.

Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, who has pledged not to use negative advertising in his bid for the Democratic nomination, abruptly discontinued an Internet ad Saturday that portrayed Hillary Clinton’s campaign as being funded by banks and other “big money interests.”

When clicking on a “learn more” button, viewers were taken to a list of leading Clinton donors that included Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and other financial institutions.

Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs attributed the use of the ad to “a miscommunication in our communications shop.”

“It’s down,” Briggs said. “We haven’t been doing ads that mention Hillary Clinton.”
