Bernie joins Hillary in signing joint fundraising pact with DNC

[RandySF]

Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign has signed a joint fundraising agreement with the Democratic National Committee, the DNC confirmed to POLITICO.

The move, which comes more than two months after Hillary Clinton's campaign signed such an agreement in August, will allow Sanders' team to raise up to $33,400 for the committee as well as $2,700 for the campaign from individual donors at events.

The candidate rarely headlines fundraising events, and is not close with many big-money Democratic donors, but he has been working to prove his proximity to the party in recent months as he competes with Clinton.

The Vermont senator, who is an Independent but caucuses with Senate Democrats, also recently lent his name to a fundraising letter for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, according to a campaign adviser, in another indication of his slowly growing ties to the party's infrastructure.

1. I am glad to see him being a team player now that he is a Democrat.

2. Remember when Bernie supporters were just aghast at Hillary doing this?

Hillary was just wrong, wrong, wrong on this. I am waiting for Bernie supporters to apologize.

3. No apology here

No way should he contribute to this currently inept and destructive organization. People need to find the candidates that best represent Democratic values and contribute to them directly.
DWS has been supporting Republicans in her own state and needs to go.

4. No apology from me - and just who would I be apologizing to? That's silly.

You think Hillary gives a flying fuck about this stuff?

I live in Florida. I see Wasserman-DINO's support of the GOP up close.
I don't like seeing one thin dime going into her maw.
