Fair and unbiased poll







Do you agree with me that Hillary should help Bernie retire his campaign debt in the name of party unity?

Bernie Sanders' campaign had less than $6 million at the start of May, a critical cash shortage as he makes an admittedly tough final play to wrest the Democratic presidential nomination from Hillary Clinton.

He is being investigated for campaign finance irregularities




And most invoices come with a thirty day payment due period.

I am sure our heroine will treat him with dignity when she helps him retire his debt.

Such a big deal is made of campaign finance issues but mistakes are often made in elections and they rarely are all that significant and so far have never kept a person from being president:

He has no debt. All his bills are paid at time of service. He has not waited for 30 day billing cycle yet.
