(15,438 posts)eight or so months. We'll know for sure if this is the case (and I believe it is) when he releases his fundraising numbers for May 2016. If it mirrors his fundraising numbers of April, or is even less, then my theory that his campaign has been funded predominantly by Republicans will prove true.
I base this theory on the National Review article calling for Republicans to donate to the Sanders campaign and calling for Operation Chaos 2016. That, and at least three seasoned Republican strategists having openly admitted to supporting Sanders' campaign because they believe he was the easiest to beat in the G.E. Now that Hillary Clinton is the presumptive nominee, they're not going to throw good money after bad and most likely have already abandoned his campaign.

(20,347 posts)The reports provide evidence that Bernie Sanders illegally used campaign funds for his overnight stay in Italy with 10 family members. Lodging at the 5-star luxury Hotel Boscolo Exedra in Rome, Italy was billed to the campaign in the amount of $13,758. Rooms at the luxury hotel start at $400 a night and go up to $8,000 a night. Additional expenses include $883 for lodging and catering at Hotel Michelangelo in Rome.
On 4/8, Bernie Sanders announced he would travel to the Vatican on 4/15. Private chartered flights must be paid in full before scheduled departure date. On 4/11, the campaign disbursed $613,451 for chartered air travel. This amount dwarfs all other Sanders campaign air charter travel expenses to date.
We can now confirm that Bernie Sanders illegally spent over a half million dollars in campaign funds on private air travel and luxury hotels for his non-campaign related trip to Italy.
