    I agree. Klobuchar and Pocahontas are done. I just saw a delegate count after the first three states. Klobuchar has a grand total of 7 delegates. Total. Pocahontas has 8. Reckon you could add them together and run as a ticket and thus have 15 but....is Bernie running away with this?

    They have absolutely no control over anything that a PAC chooses to do.

    They can choose to turn down or return contributions from people or organizations they find offensive.

    He said that they don't have the ability to deny contributions from these organizations. He was wrong and isn't going to acknowledge that.

    Sure. But they have no control over ad buys, or any other form of endorsement.

    Which is why Putin is pushing Sanders right now.

    Candidates don't have to accept donations from Super Pacs.


    Yet the more important aspect of this issue was Warren getting out before all the cameras and refusing to take money from Super Pacs. But now flips on that knowing her campaign is in trouble and that she could be knocked out of the contention.

    No, they don't control ad buys....who do you even know......who decides who they will vote for concerning President.....by some ad they read on Facebook or social media, John? Do you know one person, can you cite the ad, and what was the ad, specifically.

    In fact.....have you ever seen one of these ads, do you even know what they're talking about, school me if you do, I'm lost.

    Oh...and what you can't even show me....is the reason Putin is pushing Bernie(you heard that on tv)?

    Happy Monday John, kneejerk often or just on political overreactions?
