Sanders campaign attacks Clinton for hosting fundraiser with Clooney

[Adam Griffin]

So raising money for the national and state parties is now somehow corruption?

Would a Sanders supporter who is outraged about this explain just how these entities should otherwise reinforce down-ballot races and field candidates for offices besides President? It certainly won't happen via most of the angsty, pissy factions of the Left that can't organize themselves out of a paper bag and have such a pathetically-narrow focus on and obsession over one race.

They gave the money to the DNC, it was just a way to get around direct contribution limits. This wasn't helping down ticket races.

Care to explain where you believe all the rest of the $353k that doesn't end up in the DNC's coffers is going?

OK, fair enough: you actually made your point.

Nevertheless, the money (as best I can tell) is not being transferred into Clinton's campaign coffers. Likely, the money is being diverted into swing state parties.
