As long as he sets aside the money he is supposed to return and keeps the FEC appraised, it should be fine. Its not like he can just spam out wire transfers, since most bank accounts will not accept those. Even if he sends it back in the form of a check, they might not cash it. I know people are going to find this hard to believe, but it can be very hard to return money. We handle surpluses for banks all the time and a bunch of it gets sent to abandoned property because can't send it to anyone. | ||

that said, his campaign should get their shit together a little better if they are really doing out of line illegal stuff, I expect the FEC will take care of it. | ||

he probably pays less in taxes due to all sorts of rich people tricks, most of his stuff is probably held in s corps anyways to take advantage of tax stuff while avoiding double taxation. trump doesnt even own that much real estate these days, a lot of the stuff with his name on it is just branding. theres going to be depreciation of the real property and a bunch of other things which will reduce income for the corporate entity im not too familiar with tax credits or any he might have. i did read that a lot of his "charitable contributions" were actually just dollar values for not developing land (and just turning it into gold courses instead). anyways i dont think theres anything legally sketchy b/c the IRS has def looked at his files. it's almost guaranteed he's just not as rich as he says he is, pays less taxes and has lousy charitable contributions | ||

There won't be any "illegal donations being cleared out". And if they do there won't be any debt because the money was already spent. This would literally be a case of making something up out of thin air. And if they go after Bernie sanders for bunk online donations they'd have to go after EVERYONE ELSE who gets donations from online. I guarantee you there isn't anyone who has a 100% compliant donation system as that would require so many hoops no one would donate online. | ||

Democrats and climate hawks share a dilemma, and that dilemma is millennials. Millennials — people born between 1980 and 2000, give or take, depending on your definition — are, in many ways, an incredibly attractive political target. There's a lot of them, they lean Democrat, they are more concerned about climate change than older cohorts, and they absolutely love clean energy. The problem is, too few of them vote. "Between 1964 and 2012," writes Derek Thompson at the Atlantic, "youth voter turnout in presidential elections has fallen below 50 percent, and Baby Boomers now outvote their children's generation by a stunning 30 percentage points." It's even worse in midterm elections. Now, eco-billionaire Tom Steyer is going to put some of his money toward changing that. His Super PAC, NextGen Climate, is launching a $25 million "national campaign to register and mobilize young voters in seven key battleground states to help elect climate champions to the White House and the Senate this fall."

And I fully expect the millennial vote to plummet yet again. They aren't interested in Hillary. | ||

Had Bernie just not hit Clinton for her shady fundraising, and pushed these donations through superPACs he coordinates with or run by former campaign staff/close friends of his, you all would think that's fine, but you want to get your panties in a twist and once again point to reddit ravings after repeatedly dismissing reddit when you disagree with it.. I just hope plan is starting to see what I've been pointing out for a while. The Hillary circle jerk here is as bad as sanders reddit except you all don't accomplish anything with it here.

Without a doubt black and under 30 turnout will be down, maybe black women turnout goes up. | ||
