Weaver was apparently done with politics, but Sanders asked him to come back to run his campaign. He was formerly Sanders’ Chief of Staff for many years. When this is over, I expect he’ll go back to his comic book store in Virginia (not making that up) and fade into obscurity....and magic cards.

She’s not having trouble closing the deal. It’s been closed for a while. Bernie just doesn’t want to give up the crowds and go back to doing nothing in the Senate.

Down by 300 delegates and 3 million votes and hasn't had a realistic path to the nomination since March 15 means your campaign was not good. The Clinton campaign rolled over him.

I mean, didn’t Obama also get a huge youth turnout during his first campaign, along with more primary voters overall? I feel like Sanders gets so much hype for so little return.

He put the final nail in the coffin when he let Bernie say Hillary isn’t qualified.

I mean, men aren’t held to the same standards of appearance that women are, so his hair situation doesn’t mean he doesn’t have an ego.

I am a general Sanders fan but I’ve not liked Weaver very much this whole election. He has come across as rude, sarcastic, and just not all that competent.

And this is exactly why his wild spending bothers me so much. He spent $46 million in March alone. And he used campaign donations to fund a wildly extravagant trip to Rome, bringing along his entire family and an entourage of about 50 people on a chartered jet. (Cost estimates around $500,000.) And paying Tad Devine

It really doesn’t mean that much in the grand scheme of things, it is where he has the most established donor network already, and it is a state with an incredibly small population. Yes, his constituents are happy with him, but it’s not too difficult to get a high per capita number when you have a lot of regular

Chris Matthews was telegraphing that tax return gotcha from a mile away, and Weaver waltzed straight into it, and it was glorious. He’s got that perma-smirk of the asshole in the poli-sci class who genuinely believes he’s smarter than everyone else in the room when he’s demonstrably NOT.

Sure, if Brooklyn only contained white hipsters.

$5000? The legal limit for individual donations to a single candidate in a federal election is $2700. You can give an affiliated PAC up to $5000, but Sanders makes a big deal out of not relying on one, sooo...

100 % of Sanders donations since March 15th have been donated to a lost cause/vanity campaign.

But we all knew that already. SuperPACs have only existed since 2010. Before the Citizens United ruling (made for a film against Hillary Clinton), corporations and unions were incapable of donating to campaigns. There was an individual limit of $2,500 and that’s it. And, unless he defeats Clinton, it won’t prove that

Didn’t Obama do it with mostly ‘micro-donations’? In any event, good to see that it can be done.

His campaign manager was just terrible.

I suspect it’s the 3 million more votes Hillary received over Sanders. California doesn’t matter.

Fascinating. All that money and Sanders did that bad means to me his campaign manager isn't getting that same job any time soon.

Rachel Maddow broadcast a requiem for Sanders last night. She reported that Sanders has no money left and is ashamed to talk about it. She then brought Joy Reid on to say that Sanders’ campaign blew its wad on a pretty ‘America’ video when it should have spent the money educating independent voters in California on
