4. After New York, it appears that the Small donors dried up significantly for Sanders

The only way that Sanders can keep the small dollar donations coming in is to lie about his chances. No one seriously believes that Sanders will win a majority of the pledged delegates. There are few all white states left and Sanders does poorly in states with POC voting.

I find it sad that Sanders is selling a story to his voters about his chances to catch Clinton in the pledged delegates

7. The system of small donors beats the hell out of a slush-fund...

There has been, is and always will be a vast number of small donors who support Bernie Sanders transparent campaign. This information was just shared here over the last 48 hours. It's an honest method of supporting the candidate and is not to be confused with a laundered money process where money funneled through Clinton's personal funding which regurgitates itself back into her coffer.

Most sad are stories of what "appears" to Clinton Foundation supporters wearing round heels.

money supposedly had a very, very bad idea.

I've been walking and canvassing for Bernie here in California. The support in my neighborhood for Bernie is bigger than I have ever seen. Everybody seems to know about him and he is more popular than any of the candidates I have volunteered for in the past -- and that is a lot of candidates.

It's downright fun to canvass for Bernie in my neighborhood. May be different in other parts of the city.

We in California are so happy to finally have OUR CHANCE TO VOTE FOR BERNIE.

Have a great, sunshiny, California day (Bernie and Jane will) and

FEEL THE BERN!

My city councilman is speaking up for Bernie. This is Bernietown.

Enjoy everybody. California will finally get to vote in about two weeks. We can hardly wait.
