Bernie Sanders Has Raised A Phenomenal $3.2 Million In Less Than 3 Days

[Uncle Joe]

The Democratic debate as energized Bernie Sanders supporters as the Democratic candidate raised an amazing $3.2 million in three days this week all from small donors.

According to the Sanders campaign:

And in a remarkable turn of events, there has been a record surge in online donations this week. More than 97,800 contributions poured in totaling some $3.2 million since Tuesday, when the first Democratic debate was held in Las Vegas, through mid-afternoon on Thursday. The average donation $32.28.

For the sake of comparison, the Hillary Clinton campaign has raised $5 million from people giving less than $200 in the last four months.

No matter who the experts and supporters think won the debate, it is clear that Bernie Sanders supporters have been energized by the debate.

What often gets overlooked is that Sen. Sanders is raising more money from small donors than all of the Republican candidates are from their billionaire backers. Cash is vital to a successful campaign, but money must be converted to an organization and votes.

4. Since Hillary is owned by the banks

she doesn't need donations. They just write her a big check whenever she needs money.

They can donate online again and again....unscientifically.

6. Only 270 of Sanders’ 650,000 donors gave the maximum $2,700 allowed.

Phenomenal.

12. Sounds like Sanders supporters are doing more than clicking online polls

Must be quite a few clicking "donate now" button.

But I suppose that isn't meaningful either.
