If sanders demands that Hillary pays off his campaign debt and fines

[beachbumbob]

Should Hillary tell him good luck?? And wave good bye?...she has no reason to submit to his blackmail....his supporters aren't stupid...they will realize how they got conned

[pandr32]

1. I would hope she and the DNC tells him to go fly a kite

He made his own mess.

[BlueCaliDem]

2. If he demands? Heck no. If he asks nicely, as she had asked Senator Obama in 2008, then yes.

Of course. Provided that he bows out gracefully and stop doing THIS:

[beachbumbob]

4. Bernie only knows how to demand

[BlueCaliDem]

9. Then I'd say to him:

[beachbumbob]

10. I think this is all ending very bad for sanders and a real emarrassment

For his supporters that he has duped....what happens when a small man can't handle the big stage and is unvetted....

3. $27

shame on me

[Her Sister]

5. I think HRC will pay! or help him pay!

She is just a solutions person!

I'd back HER either way!

[displacedtexan]

6. The phrase, "Pound sand," comes to mind.

But it will all depend on how he moves forward with the party leaders, I'm sure. Besides, all of his supporters will surely help him out...

[Fresh_Start]

7. No, she should help like she was helped by Obama

as long as he works to help her election

[Koinos]

11. I wouldn't trust him to keep his side of the bargain.

He'll take the money and then do nothing to help Hillary get elected. He is not a man of his word and cannot be trusted. Besides, the DNC and Hillary will need all the money they can come up with to defeat Trump and other Republicans. Why should they cripple their chances by paying off someone who mismanaged his campaign finances, violated FEC laws, and spent over $600k illegally to ambush the pope?

[BlueCaliDem]

12. The thing is, as Howard Fineman had pointed out, Hillary bowed out herself, without any

urging, even though she had 272k more in the popular vote, but lost big time in superdelegates and pledged delegates. She knew she was outmaneuvered and lost. She said she would work to unite the Democratic Party and campaign hard for Senator Obama. She didn't demand anything for this because, apparently, getting a Democrat in the White House was more important to her than playing butt-hurt bully. She only asked if Senator Obama would help her retire her campaign debt. The operative word here being "asked".

14. Thanks for the correction

Clinton put the needs of the party and the people ahead of her own interest

[BlueCaliDem]

15. "Clinton put the needs of the party and the people ahead of her own interest" That she did, FS.

It's what we expect from our Democratic leaders. United we stand. Divided we fall. I wished Sanders understood this very American concept, and what's been the core of the Democratic Party platform.

[LiberalFighter]

16. Extactly right! She can't pay off his debts. But she can help make it possible.

To do otherwise would be illegal. And of course he needs to hold up his end of the bargain too.

[liberal N proud]

8. That would be like me taking you out to dinner and you run up the tab while calling me names

He should be stuck with the entire bill for his adventure of deception he has been on.

[Surya Gayatri]

13. His campaign's missteps belong to him. Let him hit up his

poor, dupped $27 donors one last time. Get them to pitch in and clean up his mess.

[Maru Kitteh]

17. After he endorses Hillary, she will help him by holding some fundraisers for his debt

It will be a good step for unification. The time for bitterness will be past.

[TeamPooka]

18. What debts? I thought Bernie was an online money machine?

[patricia92243]

19. Yes, she should help pay or help him raise the money to pay the innocent

vendors that he owes money to. Not paying could hurt some of these vendors so badly they would go out of business and people lose their jobs.

I think he would have the good grace not to "demand" but to ask if she will help in making it easier to pay his bills.

[SaschaHM]

20. I was going to make a "golden parachute for ruining colleges" joke, but nah...

I see no reason for her to help him unless he gives up his small donor email list.

[teamster633]

21. Not a dime until after the GE.

If, at that point he has kept his word and made a demonstrable effort to advance the interests of the Party, it would be reasonable to offer him some assistance. He has proven to be unworthy of blind trust.
