Bernie and Liz set rules on fundraising to favor their headstart advantages

And run the two rockstar candidates out of the race: Beto and Kamala

Castro/Booker/Biden came from deep pocket states.

All the type of money the new comers could get was bad.

Only good money was from small donors who give frequently.

By the way this is expensive operation that takes a LONG time to cultivate. Only a scintilla of Americans do this and Rs have an operational advantage

This was the only good money until they realized it was not enough

Then they looked left and right realized all the black candidates were gone, the Latino candidates couldn’t get off the ground.

The Rockstars were quieted and even VP didn’t use his vast networks

Then they went pysche we have SuperPacs and soft money donors.

But by then someone else noticed the prime candidate were gone to and the VP was struggling. Bloomberg.

He looked at the realities of the race and went from private backer to robust candidate

Then he sought his own rent seeking tactics

Now the math is tricky and everyone is spending like mad to get fewer delegates

Only the more resourced campaigns can stay
