Related: About this forumIn Just 24 Hours Bernie Sanders Outraises Rand Paul, Marco Rubio AND Ted Cruz
Don't know if this was already posted, if it's the case then I'm sorry.
Still think we shouldnt take Bernie Sanders presidential campaign seriously because he lacks big money donors? Guess what? Within 24 hours of Sanders announcement, the Democratic Socialist senator from Vermont raised a whopping $1.5 million in small donations.
A Tweet from writer Zaid Jilani also points out another amazing fact: Sanders raised way more than GOP front-runners Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz raised in their first 24 hours. Rand Paul and Marco Rubio each landed $1.25 million and Ted Cruz a mere $1 million.
See what we can do when we all work together? Sanders $1.5 million is encouraging news for those of us who feel crushed by the weight of big money in politics and fear our voices will never be heard. On Friday, Sanders posted this message on his Facebook page:

(50,983 posts)4. How can this be?
It's because donors see that Bernie is that extremely rare honest politician.
Unless they kill him, he will win.
