Good news #14: Bernie Sanders rejects Super PAC

Wouldn't it be great if this kind of thinking were the outcome of this, by far, most expensive election -- ever?   This is from a Bernie Sanders campaign fund-raising email.

"Here's the truth:   backed by almost one million contributions, we raised more money last FEC fundraising quarter than every Republican campaign, and just as much as Hillary Clinton. . . [without having a super PAC or taking any money from them.]

"But much to our surprise, one super PAC plans to start spending money in support of our campaign.   They should spend their money somewhere else.   We do not want their help.

"Our campaign is funded by people who have had enough of corrupt billionaires and super PACs buying our elections.   The political media thinks we're naive for taking this approach.   But we will prove them wrong."
