Instead, she mostly seems frustrated that Sanders has maintained his image as an economy-class-flying ascetic, when his campaign has raised, albeit mostly from small donors, an extraordinary amount of money—forty-six million dollars in March, compared with twenty-nine and a half million for Clinton—and has spent it profligately.

However, Yasuchika continued to rule behind-the-scenes from the clan's Edo residence, and lacking a personal power base or the respect of his senior retainers, Nobuyuki was reduced to an ineffectual figurehead, and was derided as the of Tsugaru. Rumors were spread of his laziness, lack of mental acuity, drunkenness, inappropriate behavior and lasciviousness during sankin-kōtai journeys to Edo. The shogunate was also outraged by reports that, despite the domain's desperate financial situation, Nobuyuki was spending profligately on entertainments such as parades, firework displays, festivals and moon-viewing parties, and that he had taken a commoner (the daughter of an Edo oil merchant) as his concubine. Nobuyuki was forced into retirement in 1839, and the domain was turned over to an outsider, the 7th son of Matsudaira Nobuakira, lord of Yoshida Domain in Mikawa Province and a rōjū, who was adopted into the Tsugaru clan as Tsugaru Yukitsugu.
