Related: About this forumJust 17 percent of CLINTON'S DONORS meet the definition of SMALL
FYI
Washington Post fact checkers also note that just 17 percent of Clintons donors meet the definition of small (those contributing under $200): More than 80 percent of her donations come from big donors, compared to just 22 percent for Sanders.

(19,326 posts)I was just seeing on another thread how she also lied about the number of gun deaths she cited,
which were totally made-up exaggerated numbers, to try to dig her knife deeper into Bernie on
the gun issue.

(42,862 posts)I have no problems with that. To think otherwise is short-sighted and naive about what it takes to win elections in a post Citizens United world. Why would any candidate (who actually wants to win) refuse any advantage against the GOP money-machine?
Or, to put it another way: why would any candidate (who claims to be serious) knowingly do something that would put his campaign at a crippling disadvantage against the GOP money-machine?
