Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said he would cut hundreds of jobs and re-shift the focus of his campaign toward winning the California primary next month, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
Sanders' comments came a day after he lost four primaries in Northeastern states to opponent Hillary Clinton, who already had hundreds more delegates promised to her campaign. In the wake of those losses, Sanders said he didn't need as many staffers around the country as he had before.
“So what we are going to do is allocate our resources to the 14 contests that remain, and that means that we are going to be cutting back on staff,” he told the Times.
While he declined to give an exact number of layoffs, Sanders said "it will be hundreds of staff members.” He said he would rehire those staffers if he won future contests.
“We have had a very large staff, which was designed to deal with 50 states in this country; 40 of the states are now behind us," Sanders told the Times. "So we have had a great staff, great people.”
The California primary is June 7.
It’s okay when libs do it.
“So what we are going to do is allocate our resources to the 14 contests that remain...
as opposed to...allocating them to states that have already been decided??
Go Bernie
I assume as a true Socialist, he will continue to pay their wages?
Buthey they are socialists. Why doesn’t everybody take a paycut so no one loses their job.
Like Cruz, Bernie will win by losing better.
lol
LOL
It’s interesting to see a senator prudently manage money when the money essentially belongs to him.
Wow. A socialist costing people their livelihoods, discarding them like so much garbage. What a shock. NOT.
Market conditions have changed, competition is getting tougher, to refocus on making your product more sellable you are cutting back on expenses and increasing your direct marketing approach to more specific targets?
Sounds like the free market system at work and not a Spocialist utopian dream.
Nice!
It’s the socialist way!
You have to see the video of the girl defending her brother (who was shot dead) robbing the house of some woman.
She said, “How’s he supposed to get his money?!!??”.
I guess by breaking into homes and robbing people and selling their stuff.
Gee, I’m so confused on how all this is supposed to work.
I assume as a true Socialist, he will continue to pay their wages?
A true socialist would want me to pay their wages.
From a feasibility standpoint Sanders could be the Green nominee (as was Ralph Nader). Although I’m not sure how vindictive Burney will be. Running like that would likely torpedo Hillary.
Translation:
Bernie: “I’m totally out of ideas, votes and money”
