Watch for campaign finance to suddenly become a campaign issue. They are real quiet when they are raising piles and piles of money. Faced with a colossal disparity, they are going to claim how unfair the system is.
It couldn't possibly be that their ideas suck and would gouge the exact people they are trying to raise money from...

This party-level campaign money disparity probably won't affect the Presidential campaigns much - they'll raise plenty of money for that. But it will have great effect down ballot on House and Senate campaigns.

SSG Matthew Adkins - Oh it comes up in passing. Bernie was all about it in 2016. But at this point in the cycle where it really is an arms race raising cash, the candidates barely mention it.

They have done to themselves as a party the same thing they have done to every major city that they have tried to run. They have bankrupted it. Morally, ethically, and financially. I can't feel sorry for them. That's why they've got guys are like Michael Bloomberg with his billions that will want to waltz on into the presidential race and literally by it. Just like Hillary Clinton did last time around. That's how she kept Bernie Sanders from getting the nomination. She made a deal with the DNC that she would pay off all of their debt and keep them funded but that they would not support any other candidates but her.
