God, the crazy emails begging for money, "Won't you chip in $1" are ridiculous!

I don't get why she is winning! She's sitting at Kasich-levels when it comes to donation support--and his campaign is swirling the drain. Her campaign financing is all millionaires, billionaires and her powerful corporate interests.

Her fundraising is pathetic. Her rallies are poorly attended. She barely has online support--and much of it feels fake.

How does someone win elections with these realities??? It's a serious question!

has like 800K small donors or something with $50 avg. That is because she sent out emails to her supporters that ask for $1 many many times a now. So she gets like one guy that donates 10,000,000 and then 100,000 to donate 1 dollars 5-10x times so it makes it to >100 per donor.
