New meme: Bernie is running out of money

[unc70]

That seems to be one of today's talking points, that he has spent most of his February donations. Not sure who they are trying to convince. Much of this kind of talk by opponents will just increase donations to Bernie.

[Yuugal]

1. Shhhhhhhh!

I was worried all the reports that Bernie was rolling in cash would hurt his future donations.

[Blus4u]

2. Yeah, I noticed that too.

Two posts from 'never never land' stacked together at 5:55 am (cst). I guess the early morning huddle broke about 5:50.

Peace

[hobbit709]

7. It's a wonder no one there has broken their arms with their mutual backpatting.

And the same people started talking about it last night on another site.

[tazkcmo]

40. It's called

Corporate Fun Time. It's required. Your absence was duly noted.














sarcasm

[roguevalley]

84. I want to see how low their memes go.

The higher the dirt piles up on hrc the lower the meme go on bernie. This from the side that has Walmart fundraisers in Mexico to hide the payola. She's the one grubbing. We're the ones giving. Big dif.

[HereSince1628]

3. I sort of think they were donated with the intent of them being spent

Campaign funds flow in and out. The pertinent issue isn't spending, it seems Sanders is careful about paying his bills. The issue to look at would be any increased difficulty in getting them to continue to flow in.

The recent multi-million dollar day suggests there hasn't been difficulty in raising donations.

[roguevalley]

85. he pays towns security overtime at rallies, the only one who does

[Donkees]

4. Haircuts don't come cheap. He got one yesterday and a sandwich.

[Jester Messiah]

10. A haircut AND a sandwich!? Profligate!!

[polly7]

11. LOL! Cute. nt.

[Donkees]

24. He started this $pending $pree in MN:

AFTER LUNCH HE BOUGHT A COMB!!!

[tazkcmo]

36. Damn Pork!

I bet it was one of those combs that you can put against a piece of paper and blow through it thus making "music". Probably made in Communist China!

[Donkees]

38. Dunno, no video yet. He used to comb his hair with a balloon. They forced him to buy comb$

[tazkcmo]

39. That almost made me vote for Clinton.

I was so depressed after seeing him cave to The Establishment's demands to go "main stream" and use a comb. What's next? Eating FOOD? Bathing in WATER? It's a slippery slope.

[Donkees]

42. Maybe hairspray. I would have to burn my socialist membership card if that was next!

[tazkcmo]

44. Oh my gawd!!!

You've given me the vapors! *swoon* We all know that hair spray is a gateway substance to (shudder) hair gel! He's a friggin' sell out!!!




On edit" When burning your card, make sure you light it rubbing two American Union made sticks together and not a Corporate Zippo!

[Donkees]

48. Damn Straight! I'm going out to buy a bag of balloons! Who's with me!!!!

[agracie]

43. Comb his hair with a balloon ?! Love it !

[bvf]

14. That was good! n/t.

[Divernan]

45. Bernie's haircut - $7; Hillary's cut & dye"do" - $1200

And he didn't demand security shut the place down and keep all the other customers out,like Hillary did in New York City.

BernieSanders decides to get an impromptu $7 haircut in Lawrence, Kansas.

Couldn't be a starker contrast with One Percenter Hillary.

Hillary "Dead Broke" Clinton spends $1200 for cut/dye; closes down posh salon in the process.
Hillary Clinton made part of Bergdorf Goodman, a ritzy department store, shut down on Friday to get a $600 haircut at the posh John Barrett Salon.

Clinton and her huge entourage were seen being ushered through a side entrance of the Fifth Avenue store in Manhattan.

“Staff closed off one side of Bergdorf’s so Hillary could come in privately to get her hair done,” a source said. “An elevator bank was shut down so she could ride up alone, and then she was styled in a private area of the salon. Other customers didn’t get a glimpse. Hillary was later seen with a new feathered hairdo.”

Clinton regularly sees salon owner John Barrett, who typically charges $600 for a cut and blow-dry and an additional $600 for hair color.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

56. I remember being able to get $6 haircuts back in the day.

Nowadays, it's $14 plus tip.

[grasswire]

86. there used to be some kind of a jingle that went...

..."shave and a haircut, six bits."

I think that's 75 cents.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

57. Now, see, you're being sexist.

Because you actually mentioned Hillary Clinton's appearance, or how she achieves it.

[greymouse]

64. I guess if she's used to shutting things down

that's why Bill not quite there thought it was okay to shut down Massachusetts polling places. Oh, wait, no, it's just interfering illegally with the vote.

[Blus4u]

72. What's a few polling places compared to...

all of the manufacturing he managed to shut down in this country due to NAFTA.
Ol' Ross Perot was right. That giant sucking sound is still echoing through this country.

Peace

[Donkees]

68. Here is more evidence!

[HubertHeaver]

87. She shut down a hair salon to have her hair done?

What an amateur. Bill shut down two runways at LAX to have his hair cut.

[TBF]

5. All he has to do is send another email -

or post something on Facebook. I'm happy to send more. I will send small donations until maxed out.

[MgtPA]

6. This will just result in another money bomb from the Reddit kids.

[tazkcmo]

30. And their DU parents

Aunts, uncles and such!

[MgtPA]

32. We raised them right, eh?

[tazkcmo]

34. Gave it our best shot anyway

I'm so proud of the youth that's become active this election. I just hope it continues to grow as this election is just the first salvo in a long protracted war.

[MgtPA]

50. I'm so proud of them too.

My daughter is a college sophomore. Last spring, a scant 6 days after Bernie announced his candidacy, she came home for summer break. She sat me down and said "Mom, I know you're probably voting for Hillary" (unspoken, "because you're a woman, and...old", haha!)," but I really think Bernie Sanders is much better". She then proceeded to tick off Bernie's proposals - free college, health care, prison reform, inequality, etc., etc. She was so earnest! I almost felt bad telling her that Mom & Dad were already Feeling the Bern. She then told me that her entire dorm, her friends from high school (who are in colleges all over the country), and her old Girl Scout troop are all supporting Bernie. It was then that I knew that the kids were going to run with this.

Makes this old Boomer's heart proud.

[Divernan]

58. Yup. My dtr. just mentioned sending another $100 to Bernie!

[RoccoR5955]

8. They certainly are geting pitiful! n/t

[JaneyVee]

9. Where are you guys hearing this?

[bvf]

15. *Sigh*

[hobbit709]

16. The are deliberately obtuse people out there.

[cherokeeprogressive]

17. Ha.

She's like this...

[JaneyVee]

23. First time I heard Bernie is running out of money.

Is it true? Seems like not you or anyone else can answer it. So I guess we're all like

[cherokeeprogressive]

25. Ha.

[JaneyVee]

31. So no answer then?

[cherokeeprogressive]

33. Nnnnnnnnnnope.

[JaneyVee]

35. So in other words, it may be true?

[cherokeeprogressive]

37. It will be if you click your heels together three times while chanting it.

[JaneyVee]

41. So I guess we're both like....

[NurseJackie]

22. Nowhere? A pre-emptive defense move?

[cherokeeprogressive]

27. Ha

61. Why, over in your very own Hillary group, both posted at 6:55 a.m.

Hope you aren't too shocked at the news.

12. Great! He's spending money on ad buys then.

Just as he should be.

[Omaha Steve]

13. Use our DU Act Blue link

Donate to DU for Bernie at Act Blue here: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/duforbernie

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

59. Thanks for the link again. Sent in my OCD donation.

(To raise it to an 'even' amount.)

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

62. And sent in a second OCD donation through jackpine radicals, to take them to an even amount too. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

76. Just sent another donation!

[Hatchling]

79. Thanks.

Can you imagine if all his 4 million donors just sent in another $1 each he'd have another 4 million. And if we each sent in #27 dollars it would be 108 million dollars!

[jtuck004]

18. Well, unlike others, he doesn't have to wait for the Bank$ters to open. n/t

[sarge43]

20. Yes and no one has to pay $2000 to get in the room with him.

Think I'll send him another 10 bucks. Anyone else?

[greymouse]

65. you bethca

I've been sending $25s. I'll send $100 in a minute.

Update: I just did.

Anyone who can afford to, now is the time to donate again. Just in case this meme is true, we have to fix it.

[kracer20]

19. Good thing I just upped my monthly donation last week.

Glad to help out.

[Shadowflash]

21. That's ok.

Even IF it were true. I have plenty left to give.

[PDittie]

26. Daily Newsbin and Blue Nation Review

are part of the new David Brock online network of Clinton propaganda. I have found even Media Matters and Daily Beast to have skewed far in the same direction.

BNR co-opted and corrupted Susie Madrak of Crooks and Liars, a truly sad development. (C&L is still worthy.)

Markos Moulitsas called those who pointed out the Clinton Southern firewall was a piece of crap "dicks".

We have crossed a line, folks. These wounds aren't going to heal by November.

[Maedhros]

77. If Kos thinks we're "dicks" then we're doing something right...[n/t]

[tazkcmo]

29. He Is

Until he isn't. And you're right. His opponents are fund raising for him and are too ignorant and greedy to see it.

[WillyT]

47. The Ultimate In Projection... Bernie Can Keep Going To The Well... Hillary... Not So Much...

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

60. She actually had a greater percentage of small donors last month than she has had.

Of course, I don't know if that's because she's getting more small donors, or because she's getting fewer large ones.

[WillyT]

66. Didn't She Start Asking For $1 Contributions Through E-Mails ???

That would up her number of contributors by a lot, but not necessarily her $$$ by much.

[HenryWallace]

49. In honor of our fearless leader: Pivot to the Issues!

Set a small donor monthly record and still being outspent by the flood of Corporate money.......

You think somethings wrong with the system????

[Smarmie Doofus]

51. Dream on, Debbie.

There's *M O R E* where that came from.

[Fuddnik]

52. Uh oh,

I better send a supplement to my monthly donation.

I wondered why it was taking so long to get my extra signs and bumper stickers. Poor guy probably can't pay the help.

[fredamae]

53. Well, lol-then I shall Donate Again

I not only have a n Auto-Monthly donation set up-I donate at Least once a week in Addition.
One of my kids told me not so long ago---"Mom-I actually took money Out of My pocket and donated to Bernie!!!!! I have NEVER given a cent to Any other politician...Ever!!!"

I'll post this and go donate Again

[a2liberal]

54. Well, that's am interesting change of pace

Just a few days ago they were theorizing that he was basically done spending/campaigning and just staying in to raise more money to keep for himself because $40 million wasn't enough.

Must be new marching orders from HQ this morning.

[yourout]

63. "Must be new marching orders from HQ this morning. "....straight off the Hillary hotline.

[Divernan]

55. HRC ran up $25.2 million in debts - one way to hang onto those campaign "donations"

Back in her first unsuccessful presidential campaign, 2008,

Clinton's debt reached its peak in June 2008 shortly after the former New York senator suspended her campaign. At that point, her presidential committee owed $12 million to almost 500 creditors and $13.2 million to the candidate herself, who dipped into her personal funds to help finance her campaign.

Campaign finance laws forced Clinton to forgive the amount she loaned her committee because she was not able to repay the funds by a required deadline.

The Clintons finally paid off the last of those debts in 2012. How many of her over 500 unpaid vendors survived until then?

[NCjack]

67. Bernie knows that when he needs cash, he sends us an email and we respond with

donations. The only request I have of him in money management: Keep reserves lean -- If the campaign falls, I don't want any of our donations transferring to the DNC.

[Smarmie Doofus]

75. I hadn't even thought of that:

>>If the campaign falls, I don't want any of our donations transferring to the DNC.>>>

Is that a real possibility? ( i.e. the "transferring" of $$ to DNC)

[NCjack]

81. FCC rules prohibit the candidate's personal use of any (including leftover) campaign money

after all bills are settled. It is permitted to donate the money to qualified charities and other political campaigns. Bernie is on record that if his campaign fails, he will support Hillary. To me, that means transferring his leftover cash either to the HRC campaign or a simpler, cleaner transfer to the DNC.

[jillan]

69. They should win an award for these tall tales.....>

[malokvale77]

70. I just sent a $30.00 money order by USPS...

That way I get to support 2 causes at once.

I hope that covers his haircut and lunch.

[MoonRiver]

71. Who cares?

[Blus4u]

73. Apparently the majority of posters above you.

They all seem to be sending him more money.

Peace

[MoonRiver]

80. Good for them.

[dana_b]

74. All he has to do is ask...

and we'll help him out.

[Baobab]

78. Well, if Hillary wins, say goodbye to literally millions of jobs

because of TISA's "movement of natural persons" provisions

Unless US staffing firms are able to underbid international firms, which is unlikely.

Big chunks of the public sector have to be privatized. They are not telling us that.

[jfern]

82. Just in case there was any truth, he just got another $100

[UglyGreed]

83. Oops there it is!!!
