Many here hate Sanders because they think he was lastone Dec 2016 #1

Yes. there is a lot of irrational Bernie-hate portlander23 Dec 2016 #2

So, sir, how much "Bernie 2016 funds" have actually been spent on rallies to fight Trump? George II Dec 2016 #104

Very good question George. sheshe2 Dec 2016 #114

I think there may have been more "Bernie 2016 funds" spend on Bernie than Democrats.... George II Dec 2016 #161

You think he's laundering campaign money to enrich himself? dionysus Jan 2017 #174

I'd hazard a guess that more was spent on cherry-picked D vs D primaries. Could be wrong. fleabiscuit Dec 2016 #115

Well any Democratic primary Madam Mossfern Dec 2016 #142

D vs. D, or D vs. d, or d vs. D? I recall some distinctions being made. fleabiscuit Dec 2016 #150
