Oh, you barely support the Republicans? I wonder what you'd be like if you were a true partisan?

You can go on and on about technical details of what the DNC can and cannot do but the simple fact is that liberals and progressives are always whining about money in campaigns, lobbyists etc etc and then it's their party that does this. IF you had an ounce of objectivity you'd admit that the hypocrisy is stunning.
And you'd like to see the DNC, as a "matter of principle", unilaterally disarm.

Yes, we get that.

Well at least the GOP sometimes pays lip service to some of the things I believe in. But if I could single handedly simultaneously disarm both the DNC and RNC I would.

Trump is as much of a libertarian as Sanders is.

Back to the topic.

It is quite ironic that this happens as soon as Bernie is perceived to be a serious threat to Hillary.

Coincidence?

I don't think so.

I think there is a long line of lobbyists that want to write checks to help Hillary, that's what I think.
