      That is arguably disappearing. After gaining such popularity, deciding not to use your influence for anything you were fighting for is probably not the right choice if you actually believed in the change.

        I disagree. The millions of dollars of campaign money that amplifies the candidates voice suddenly goes away… that’s what happens. And the media shifts towards the winning candidate. It happens in literally every single election.

          Also Bernie.
