The donor class, due to their overly-insulated hubris, are playing right into Bernie's hands. I can already hear him using the same ad to fire up his massive rallies. No matter what ads they throw at him, he'll be insulated just by the sheer fact of who paid for it.
"See? The billionares don't want you to be able to support your family with a good job. They want you to be wage slaves. This "future 45" outfit? That's the hedge fund managers and bankers that we've been talking about in our campaign." I can hear it already.

And oh so easily refuted by Bernie himself in speeches, debates and ads.
