    I hope the Bern uses the money I donated to help oust the republican pricks in the Senate.

    So What Happens to Bernie Sanders’ Millions Should He Drop Out?

    "...But should Sanders drop out, what happens to all those millions of dollars?

    Campaign finance experts Kenneth Gross, a former associate general counsel of the Federal Elections Commission, says whatever money was raised for the general election will have to be returned to donors and cannot be spent.

    “You can ask donors to re-designate the funds to either Sanders for Senate or the Democratic National Committee,” Gross told TheWrap. “But they have to sign a form,” adding that when Clinton finally conceded to then-Sen. Barack Obama in 2008, she had to return close to $20 million in donations.

    But Gross says the millions that Sanders raised were mostly earmarked for the primary race. And that’s where things get a little tricky.

    According to a report by the New York Times, as of April 21, Clinton had $29 million on hand while the Sanders campaign had about $17.5 million left...."

    As to the Bern buying a beach house, I wager you three dollars to one that he is considering retiring, and if he does he will probably sell his Washington home soon bringing his total homes to 2. Soon after that, I would not be surprised to see that go down to one.

    May the Bern go into the Sunset in Peace. All Good Things...

    Biden or Bernie are reported to get the tap once Old Hill shuffles off to the next dimension. Cain to stay as VP.

    Keep the faith, buddy.

    .Clinton made a colossal mistake not choosing a more progressive VP. It may cost millions of votes.

    You can't take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. The Bern told Clinton she shouldn't mess with his constituency. Obama has picked up on this developing catastrophe, and is putting pedal to the metal with the African American vote to make up the difference. The Latinos are probably going to vote for Clinton en-masse.

    As I have stated, Clinton horribly miscalculated when she didn't take a man who had nearly 15 million votes into consideration when she chose a VP. Bernie Sanders trained his corps well: It is not a revolution of one man, it is a movement that goes beyond one man. The Bern simply embodied with blood and soul.

    Think Ralph Nader 2000 election cycle.

    "...However, the implications are very different for Trump and Clinton. For Trump, the lack of support from young people simply signals a missed opportunity. For Clinton, not getting their support or seeing a significant portion of it migrate to Johnson or Stein in crucial states like Michigan and Pennsylvania could be a death blow..."
