other candidates, from the beginning -- almost all below the $200 threshold that requires donors to be identified.

Even back when he was polling 11-20%, unable to break out of the second tier, his donations were far higher than all others. Even now, when he's proven to have been losing really big, his donations nevertheless remain high in inverse proportion.

Money is not Sanders' problem.

He also has far more delegates than he needs to put his name in nomination so he can continue to pursue his "legacy."

Even, and even especially, when we don't actually know what that is.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
