What do you think Bernie is paying himself and his wife she is on the paid staff. Berniebros are catapulting them into the 1% with every $4.20 donation they make. It is a wicked scheme.

If Bernie was in it for the money, he would already be a millionaire. Who the hell waits until they're 74 to cash in when they're in Congress for 30 years?
Spoiler: not Bernie

Shut the fuck up Donnie, you are out of your element.

But isn't a large portion of the funding coming from Big Donald himself? (but not 100% so it doesn't excuse him of 100% of potential issues from this)

I thought about this even as I wrote it but then realized that you tax deduct political donations so he is taking a tax deduction on Donald Trump (individual) -> Donald Trump (campaign). There is nothing wrong with this because it will still cost him money but it does make the two pools of moeny seperate and the Donald Trump (campaign) treatable like any campaign money no matter where it came from.
I didn't want to write that level of nuance into that comment. At some point people need to be individually responsible to read the nuance between the lines or all short points to be made on the internet turn into essays.
