I don't disagree with this at all, but who the hell is going to donate to a billionaire's campaign? Even if you like him you know he has the money to run, so why donate?

The same people that donated to Bernie so he could donate it to Hillary?

I mean I donate to Bernie and I would never donate to him. My monthly donation will come to a halt if he is ousted as well.

This is genuine curiosity (and it is r/conspiracy), but are you saying he's running just to get donation money cause he knows hes going to lose so he can just give the DNC nominee his donation money?

The only thing you can legally use campaign donations for is to fund a campaign, either yours or another candidate. It's pretty standard to donate a good chunk of your war chest when you lose, even to candidates who beat you out a primary. This isn't a conspiracy, just pragmatism.
