What will Hillary do when Bernie is nominated?

[hootinholler]

Will she cash in her PACs?

Will her PACs fight the dark money deployed against Beernie?

[randys1]

1. Support him for president.

[MattP]

2. Are they her Pacs

I mean technically they are separate right?

[hootinholler]

4. Yes, but they are able to write anyone a check.

Didn't Colbert demonstrate that?

The estimates I've seen are near a billion. How will that be used when Hillary isn't nominated?

[jberryhill]

3. What did she do the last time?

I guess she'll do the same thing.

Or, in the fevered imaginations of some on DU, this will happen:

(Dear jury - the point is about the fantasies of some "enthusiastic" supporters of primary candidates)

[hootinholler]

6. I assume they kept it around for the next campaign

The WWW reference is fucking hilarious.


No jury should hide that!

[sadoldgirl]

5. She may give a supporting speech at

the convention, and then she will disappear
for the duration of the campaign.

The DNC will support Bernie to the most
minimal amount possible, claiming that
their main duty is to elect their people
to Congress.

I am afraid, my friend, that only the people
will be helping him.

[brer cat]

7. Will Bernie take "dirty"

money donated to PACs by corporations? Will his supporters scream and beat their chests if Bernie allows it to be used to benefit him? What will Bernie do when Hillary wins the nomination? So many questions.

[sabrina 1]

31. Bernie will not take dirty money which is only legal bribery because of the SC

passing Citizens United. Hillary could do as he is doing, refuse it.

Airc, when her campaign ended last time it was in debt. So there wasn't anything to do with 'it' as it was all gone.

[hifiguy]

8. Behind closed doors, it might look like this

[Android3.14]

9. She'll get revenge

That's her style.

[DrDan]

37. exactly - like she did in the '12 election

[fredamae]

10. I think and hope she'll

put country and the base (we the people) first. I believe she'll be graceful. She certainly was before. I have no reason to believe anything else.

In spite of Everything else...Democrats are still the Adults in the room.

[JeffHead]

11. Don't know

I don't think she knows either.

[msongs]

12. sanders does not want PAC money so no need to give him any. use it for down ticket races nt

[Evergreen Emerald]

13. So, you're saying he is inevitable? I have that alot around here lately from Bernie supporters.

I thought you did not believe in inevitable candidates?

[Ino]

19. Like these threads?

Hillary is going to win

All Your Base Are Belong To Clinton

[Warren DeMontague]

14. I'm sure she will support him as nominee.

I think some of her supporters, however, are going to go completely fucking bonkers.

[Cali_Democrat]

33. And if Hillary wins

surely all of his supporters, especially here on DU, will support her and they wouldn't ever go bonkers.

Right?

[Warren DeMontague]

34. I can only speak for myself, but I've been operating on the assumption for months that she probably

will be the nominee.

And that's fine. Hell, I was open for a while to supporting her in the primaries, but she's run a really terrible campaign so far. Everything I was afraid she would do, in the vein of not only repeating her mistakes from 2008, but also avoiding a substantive leadership discussion for mushy, poll-tested pablum and annoyingly obvious obfuscation.. she's done 10 times worse than I was afraid she would.

But I've said all along I'll support her if she's the nominee. Of course. I can't speak for other people, but me, it's not an issue.

[Mike Nelson]

15. Easy question....

...she will support him for President.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. Wake up?

What will Hillary do when Bernie is nominated?

Wake up?

[Ino]

17. If 8 years ago is any indication...

Bernie will ask his supporters to pay her campaign debts. Cos she's dead broke

[840high]

18. ....

[Fumesucker]

20. Now listen here, buster

You quacked me up...

[hifiguy]

22. "Ain't I a stinker?"

[hifiguy]

21. Dead broke?

Google machine SAYS:

$21.5 million
She makes about $725,000 a month in combined appearances, but given that she is currently campaigning for the Democratic Presidential Nomination, and cannot take an income from campaign donations, her salary is officially listed as $0. Her net worth as of 2015 is estimated to be $21.5 million.Jul 15, 2015

[Ino]

24. Her 2008 campaign was dead broke...

http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/has-hillary-clinton-learned-from-2008-mistakes/

Since Clinton’s 2008 campaign ended, she has milked her donors — and Obama supporters — for millions of dollars to pay off her campaign’s debt. $5.4 million of the debt — all of it, that is — was owed to Mark Penn’s firm Penn, Schoen & Berland. Anyone donating money to Clinton since 2008 has essentially been paying off the man who did more than anyone outside the Obama campaign to prevent her from becoming president. The debt was only just paid off in full in January, just as Clinton left the State Department and shortly before the new pro-Clinton super PAC began operating.

And of course, she was "not only dead broke, but in debt" upon leaving the White House in 2000!

[Paka]

27. Thank you for that little reminder.

I was ready to post that and you beat me to it.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

23. Cabinet post?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

25. Do more gigs for Goldman Sachs?

[napi21]

26. Support Bernie. What do you expext her to do? n/t

[anamnua]

28. What will Hillary do when Bernie is nominated?

Win.

[Metric System]

29. Gaze at the pigs flying in the sky? But seriously, Hillary and "establishment" Democrats won't be

able to stump for Sanders. That would contradict his message and potentially turn off his core supporters. Anyway, Hillary, Bill, Obama et al. will be busy campaigning for down-ticket Dems, who will need all the help they can get with Sanders as the nominee. Sanders certainly won't be able to stump for any down-ticket Dem that is "establishment," "corporate" and/or "moderate" without facing the wrath of his base.

[Buzz cook]

30. The same as she did when Obama won the nomination.

What will Sanders supporters do if Hillary wins the nomination? Odds are they won't work as hard for her as she worked for Obama.

[brooklynite]

32. You know that you can't "cash in your PACs" right? Of course you do....

but then you wouldn't have a good cliche to push...

[Recursion]

35. There are specific limits on what you can do with campaign money in that circumstance

Generally campaigns pay their remaining bills and then donate it to the winning candidate and/or charity.

Her PACs are a separate issue, though at this point I'm just giving up on DU understanding PACs and super PACs.

[YabaDabaNoDinoNo]

36. She will funnel the money to corporate dems and moderates still in the race

in an attempt to limit the damage to the 1%

And like others have said the DNC won't do dick for Bernie.

She will be pretty low-key and out of sight, plotting her revenge.
