Bernie Sanders supporters showered Hillary Clinton in cold-hard cash as she headed up Fryman Canyon to a celebrity-filled, big-money fundraiser at George and Amal Clooney’s home Saturday night.

That figure was still far below the millions earned by his main Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, in recent years.
But for Sanders, supporters now describe their vote as meaning something more than just backing a candidate, as three-quarters consider themselves part of a movement larger than themselves.
Clooney faced protesters in San Francisco who called him a “corporate shill”, which the liberal actor said he found ironic.
“As the primary approaches, the back and forth between Clinton and Sanders hasn’t dramatically changed the NY contest for the Democrats in the last few days”, Lee Miringoff, the director of the Poughkeepsie-based polling institute, said in a statement.
Chief pollster and strategist Joel Benenson insisted that Sanders himself had put the issue to rest by failing to point to a specific instance. And he says candidates need to be careful about being too rude, or to tough, or to negative.
Maybe so, but neither Clinton nor sander show any signs of letting up.
New Yorkers elected Clinton twice to represent them in the U.S. Senate.
He told supporters at a New York City event that “it’s fine” that young students have come out in force for Sanders.
“We’ve not had one question about a woman’s right to make her own decisions about reproductive health care”, Clinton said, addressing CNN’s moderators.
Sanders then jumped in, “When this campaign began, I said that we got to end the starvation minimum wage of $7.25, raise it to $15. I could never do what she does, and I think she’s kind of awesome”, Thompson said.
What’s worse is that this socialist propagandist gives nearly nothing to help the poor and downtrodden: according to the tax returns, he only gave $8,000 to charities.

“No matter how often he’s asked by family members of those who have been murdered, he sticks to his talking points”, Clinton said.
