Marilyn MonHoe 11,011 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Bernie Sanders is raising phenomenal campaign cash — in tiny increments. The Democratic Socialist announced Thursday that his presidential campaign raised $34.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. That haul, secured from 1.8 million donations averaging less than $20 a pop, puts him nearly $10 million ahead of the respective quarterly results for rivals Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg, both of whom have catered to large-dollar donors at high-end fundraisers. The Vermont senator got yuks in real time — and the last laugh as his people-powered money machine is far outperforming the billionaire-backed fundraising of the former vice president and the McKinsey-pedigreed Mayor Pete. Biden — who was recently seen raking bucks in the Bel Air home of former MGM movie studios CEO Harry Sloan — raised $22.7 million in the quarter that ended at midnight on New Year’s Eve. Buttigieg — whose fundraising in the quarter included a now infamous visit to a Napa Valley wine cave — raised $24.7 million. Sanders also appears to have bested the campaign of Elizabeth Warren for the quarter. Like Sanders, Warren has sworn off fancy fundraising dinners, seeking to finance her campaign only with grassroots donations. But her campaign sent out a late-December plea to supporters warning she was short of the $20 million she’d set as her campaign’s quarterly target. (UPDATE: Warren raised $21.2 million, a bit less than Biden.) The latest haul gives Sanders cash to invest in his ground game for the Iowa caucuses, which are now barely a month away. Meanwhile the campaign’s most valuable asset — the candidate himself — is freed up from the time suck of fundraising pitstops, and can focus exclusively on persuading voters that he’s the best bet to take on Trump in 2020.

There's a bunch of people who have their own opinions on this site and I haven't decided who to "stan" yet It really depends on what you want and your priorities are. Bernie stands for taking money out of politics (he is one of the only candidates not having big dollar fundraisers and is the only one that has zero billionaires contributing to him), supports free healthcare, free public college and has the strongest plans regarding climate change. There are so many other things but since you’re just starting to learn about the candidates I’ll stop there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie has been raising the most without it. (Also, Hillary lost to Trump despite raising more than him while taking large donations, so its clearly more about where the money comes from than the sheer amount!) 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Pete was wanting pocket change a week before the FEC deadline so that he could fake his average donation numbers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
