Hes taken donations from Apple and Amazon...
Sure, now show me the favorable vote in return.
Also I would like to see when Apple Corporation, or Amazon Corp, and not employees donated to him.

how could he, this is federal campaign donation - he hasn't be elected yet - these are for possible future considerations.
Apple, Amazon, EMC, Microsoft, Google...
The money came from the organizations' PACs; their individual members, employees or owners; and those individuals' immediate families. At the federal level, the organizations themselves did not donate, as they are prohibited by law from doing so.
Employees gave individual contributions.
Huh, I haven't seen him rail against those companies. What positions did he take against them?
why would individuals associate their donations to their employee? did you with boeing? This is backdoor way for corps to have their branding associated with a candidate and Bernie accepted/
Yes, it is required by law.
Dat ice cream special interest lobby.You are wrong here. Bernie has taken money from local business people in Vermont like Ben and Jerry's, and unions, but go take a look at his campaign finance record. It is clean. You can't link corporate money Bernie took to a vote. Ben and Jerry's doesn't have a whole lot of congressional interests.
Bernie has never spoken out against outsourcing and foreign trade ? How many manufacturing jobs does Apple employ in the US? How much foreign product does Amazon bring in?
I think you're confusing policies with companies.
And I think your confusing imports with exporting jobs.
Was Amazon even a company when NAFTA was signed?
Nice try, tho.
Are you seriously trying to say a company that practices the policies the Bernie speaks out against is free from falling under the umbrella of issues bernie's is supposedly against?
Are you blind to how foreign imports reduces domestic jobs?
What does Amazon's est date have to do with it? They benefit from WTO - and will from TPP; what does Canada or Mexico have to do with them bringing in foreign goods not manufactured in the US from Asia?
All moot points now now that thankfully he's not going to win.

Not blind at all, but your must be blind to not see that Sanders is not anti-American companies and he's not anti-trade. He's anti-America policy that cater to these companies at the cost of the poor and middle class. There is a difference, but I wouldn't expect you to acknowledge it after your weak attempt to paint Sanders as shockingly hypocritical.
Yeah, you get Hillary Goldman Sachs Clinton instead.
He is absolutely against trade.
Oh her political financing definitely is in the hands of big business.
But also, unions.
So he thinks America should be a 100% export country?
Sanders is not anti-trade, he's anti-disasterous trade deals.
This is what I don't get. I look at a Paul or a Trump, and I see the lesser of two evils. You look at Bernie, and see the worst of two evils. I don't get that.
Because i come from a household that makes 1% money and a job that is dependant on foreign trade.
