In reply to Bernie has $10,000,000 that he hasn't accounted for. The FEC threatens an audit -- again.

I'm rather loathe to get into these campaign finance games. This report is 2 1/2 months old, and if it had legs someone would have probably reported on it since. He's gotten millions of donors and there will be confusion. So it goes. Similar subjective outrage happened in 2008. Even $10 million ain't that much in such a campaign - most likely will figure it out within reason. (And yeah, campaign people often get paid a lot, but often only have 1 good gig 1-2 years out of 4).-Here's latest on FEC filings (not sure where to find clarification letter):

Both Sanders and Trump

In reply to This wouldn't bother me so

Both Sanders and Trump benefited from white guy Affirmative action. Hillary is a "crook", but Bernie's finances were never scrutinized. In May alone, Trump's campaign paid his own companies over $1 million. People make charges against Hillary using bogus websites. A person post three blogs about Hillary's crime including Bill entering a polling place, ignoring Bernie walking through a polling place in New Hampshire. Then we are asked why we are not taking the charges against Hillary seriously. It is frustrating.

This wouldn't bother me so much except for two things:

1. He claims to be Mr. Purity while accusing Hillary of all kinds of unproven and undocumented shenanigans, but he won't even publish his taxes unlike every legitimate candidate for office of President except Mitt Romney. What an example! He is following the lead of a true 1%er and hiding it behind his demand that Clinton do something no other candidate has ever done or been asked to do.

2. He has lost his bid for the nomination, yet he continues to rake in the $$ and seems to like it enough that he isn't embarrassed to fly first class now that others are paying for it

If Hillary gets struck by lightning, I sincerely hope that Biden is drafted; Bernie doesn't deserve to run as a representative of the Democratic Party.
