Bernie Sanders Now Has More Donors At This Point Than Any Other Candidate In History

Bernie Sanders is building a political movement that could potentially change a nation. That is why the 750,000+ donors matter, and why to understand the success of Bernie Sanders one must look beyond the polls and towards the future beyond the 2016 election.

drifting in unexpectedly. Geez, I could buy myself some new "toy" or such. But I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna use it as another installment towards buying an HONEST president to put in the Oval Office.

Maybe need to look into that.

Other thing is, a million pennies saved are a million pennies earned. You can go on Huffpo and see 3 Hillary ads on a single page. What are they thinking? And it's nonstop. The spending there is easily 4x more than needed to be just as effective.

It would be interesting to know, but I expect her burn rate to be 2-3x of his. And is it really selling anyone who wasn't already a follower of hers?
