    Bernie Sanders is finished. His constantly using unethical campaign donations
    from "big corporations" as a selling point for his political careers efficiacy, he now
    is exposed to be as bad as the worst of corrupt politicians.

    His campaign was already in trouble because the last two Democrat Presidential debates were and are a scheduled farce. The last debate hosted on a Saturday night by ABC News had moderators constantly interrupting an angry looking, and never smiling Bernie Sanders during his answers, and not allowing him adequate rebuttals, in favor of more elongated speech time given to Hillary Clinton, who always appeared calm and collected, albeit in a dogmatic, dictatorial demeanor.

    The next Democrat Presidential debate is scheduled on Jan 17th during the always hugely popular, and big TV ratings spectacle of the Sunday NFL football playoffs. The already embattled Debbie Wasserman, who is herself being accused of corruption by candidate Martin O'Malley of "coronating Clinton" in a public statement, while Sanders Liberal base of supporters also filed petitions against DNC chair Wasserman for manipulating the primary process.

    Barring some unlikely, unsettled setback from individual Benghazi and Clinton e-mail investgations currently underway in Washington, Hillary Clinton will undoubtedly be the 2016 Presidential nominee.

    I think it is destined for Hillary to be the 2016 Democratic Party Presidential Nominee.

    Why wouldn't he? After all, the donors didn't earn that money.

    Socialism for thee, not for me.

    ok so an accusation = guilt = punishment ? So if this was a murder case would we just go from accusation to execution and forget about those inconvenient details such as facts and evidence.

    In partisan politics, unsubstantiated allegations are an important part of the strategy and to the partisan horde deemed by to be the truth. Works both ways.

    I saw videos of 10, 000 Muslims cheering on 9-11 on New Jersey roof tops.... who cares that no such video exists but I saw it...

    other people say they heard George W's advisors plan 9-11 - who cares that it did not happen let's just say it did ---

    I'm not a Sanders supporter, OK? But "sizable salaries"? 90k over 3 years is 30k/year. 65k over 3 years is about 22k/year. No one got rich over that.

    As far as the school thing, a college president can't spend that kind of money without it being budgeted. Colleges are usually overseen by a Board that approves spending.

    clouding a perfectly good accusation with facts? You should be ashamed of them.

    Haha ... Yeah I'm way too much of a "radical moderate" to support Sanders. He seems like a nice guy. I'd have a beer with him, :beer: but I wouldn't vote for him. It's legal and typical for Congress to employ their family members in their campaigns. It would be different if we were talking about huge sums of money, but we're not.

    Engineers and interior decorators are already searching for a federal prison where they can turn an entire cell block into a White House Behind Bars if Hillary were to get elected as POTUS.

    Not hard to see why 20% of Democrats are supporting Trump.

    Sure I heard that also but the other guy who said it also believes that the face on Mars was built by a race of people called the Shmatarochki's who came her to earth and created humans from some bi-peddled ape like creature. He also believes that POTUS BO has a secret mosque in the basement of the WH. So what is your excuse for harboring such insane fantasies ?

    And she apparently will be beaten by Trump...

    I saw that latest poll.

    The company that conducted that scientific poll is owned and run by a Democrat.

    Did he do anything illegal?? or is it truly partisan politics? I honestly think very few people could care less; there are bigger issues to worry about facing this country.

    if this is enough to destroy the sanders campaign then hillary will have huge problems with the clinton foundation. I would keep quiet about this issue if i were her.

    $500,000 seems like a lot to channel to a family friend.

    And he takes money from the defense contractors like all the others.

    Why does this guy always claim to have the moral high ground?

    LOLZ - Now, that's hilarious. :lol:

    Ok .. I am kind of in the same boat. Serious question .. If not Sanders ... Who does constitution loving, anti establishment, fiscal conservative (Goldwater style) vote for ?

    I doubt that statistic but, to be honest, it would not be that surprising to see some Dems voting Trump. Folks on both sides of the aisle are developing a serious hate for the "establishment" candidates who worship the Oligopoly-Bureaucracy Fusion monster that pulls the strings of the establishment puppets.

    My problem is that I am not sure that Trump is not one of them. Hillary is for sure.

    The rhetoric of both Sanders and Cruz suggest that both are anti establishment. I almost fell of my chair when I heard Cruz- after calling Mitch a liar in his speech before congress and making great comments in relation to the power lobbyists and crony capitalism- Praise Bernie Sanders !!

    That was something.
