Why does Bernie Sanders have no choice but to take money from big donors, but Elizabeth Warren does? I don't follow.

Anyway, that's not even the point of my post.

The point of my post is that candidates (like Bernie and Warren) are hamstringing themselves because of a simple campaign gimmick. They can play by the rules AND change them after.

Bernie doesn't have a choice participating in the electoral college process. Your comparison was flawed, I was simply pointing it out.

That's not what I said. Why does he have to base his campaign strategy around winning within the electoral college system? He most certainly doesn't have to do that, it's simply the smarter way to go about it given the current ruleset.
