Bernie Sanders To Cut 'Hundreds Of Campaign Jobs' And Focus On Winning California
Talking Points Memo ^ | APRIL 27, 2016, 4:42 PM EDT | Sara Jerde

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.

I guess that’s why they want to start their own Soviet Union or Third Reich here in America. They don’t have anything else to do.

That was very creepy; these creatures saw nothing immoral about that POS robbing people to buy sneakers and such.

Sadly, many of them have been reduced to an animal-like state - and lash out at any indication of civilization as “white privilege”.

That’s why I keep my 2A by my side, like right now, when I’m at the residence.

More than likely it won’t ever be necessary, and that’s my prayer. Security lights and dogs, including 4 big ones right next door.

Actually, I think he is the popular candidate for the Democrats but the system is rigged against him.
