Isn't this mostly a case of Bernie getting his contributions from individual supporters while Hillary gets hers from big companies. Bernie's contributors are limited to $2700? while corporations can contribute millions. Bernie is against the Super Pacs which are unlimited so he's already fighting with one hand tied and lets face it these corporations ability to buy candidates and elections is far more undemocratic than some small contribution snafus.

Notice Bernie isn't on any of these Million-Dollar Donors lists.
