What's an indication of Sanders doing badly last night?

[George II]

By 9:49 AM this morning I've already received FIVE emails from his campaign pleading for money:

2:34 AM
3:20 AM
4:22 AM
6:03 AM
9:49 AM

[NCProgressive]

1. lol

[George II]

2. Yes, very lol-able. Here are the subject lines:

Onslaught
I'm afraid we're short
A serious threat to our campaign
US against everyone
500,000 donations by Saturday's deadline

And there are still 12 hours left in the day!

[whathehell]

4. Keep trying..

[Cha]

5. omg.. I saw that on a twitter feed and thought it might

photo shopped..

US against everyone

Proud to be everyone!

[George II]

9. Makes no sense. If it truly is "US against everyone" who are "US"? Aren't they part of "everyone"?

[Cha]

13. It's their MO.

[jimfields33]

11. I got five from Biden

They all do this.

[Cha]

21. No one else did.. why are you saying that?

[Cha]

17. Did you get 5 from Biden?

[George II]

18. No, I got my typical two today, first one was 9:06. I didn't get any in the middle of the night.

[Cha]

19. Thanks.. I'm going to tell

that guy that said he got 5 from Biden.. that no one else did. I certainly didn't.

[redstateblues]

26. I got 2 one of which was Jill

[Cha]

32. Thank you.. the poster up thread said he got 5.

Don't think so.

[NCProgressive]

30. P.T. Barnum

[Cha]

3. That would make me

Did they say why? lol

[SDANation]

7. Lost control

When the crowd was booing him, and replied with “really?!”. When asked about his healthcare plan on how to pay, he responded, “platitude, platitude, platitude, payroll tax...” Still couldn’t answer the question when asked directly and the moderators did a disservice to those watching by not holding his feet to the fire. Biden looked overall presidential, I thought.

[PatSeg]

15. Yes, it looked like his blood pressure spiked

Bernie probably isn't used to being boo'd, nice reality check for him. Not everyone is like his adoring fans at his rallies. Meanwhile, I sincerely worry about his health, as this much pressure cannot be good for a 78 year old man who just had a heart attack. If he was my husband or a close relative, I'd be pushing for him to quit before he does irreparable damage to his health.

[HarlanPepper]

20. Yeah that was a bad look

[unc70]

8. Got my first one as debate was ending

I average getting 5-10 emails a day from Bernie and a fair number from other candidates, mostly state and local. All the ones from Bernie ask for money. As the debate was ending, I received this email:




US against everyone

It’s us against the entire damn political establishment, UNC70

Tonight it was the candidates taking aim at Bernie on the debate stage. Tomorrow it will be their super PACs and their personal billions taking aim at us in television ads.

[George II]

12. That's the one I got at 6:03 AM this morning. I usually get 2-3 from him daily, 1-2 from Biden...

...and Klobuchar, and was getting 1-2 from Booker before he dropped out. I get several from local candidates, too.

Never got five before, I suspect that's going to become the norm.

[Cha]

14. Did you get 5 from Biden? Because someone

on your thread who supports BS says he got 5 from Biden.

[unc70]

16. Rarely get email from Biden

Just went back and looked more closely at emails. Have gotten a recent flurry from Bernie. Sustained rate previously was only 1-3 a day, some days none. The tone of these emails have become much more "fearful" -- he/we are under attack and need your money.

[PatSeg]

10. Whoa, that does sound desperate

[HarlanPepper]

22. I was surprised to hear Bernie had less than $10 million cash on hand

It’s more than the others except for Bloomberg and Steyer but for all the chest pounding about fundraising and mockery of other candidates’ fundraising by some Sanders supporters you’d figure it would be a lot more.

[George II]

27. He's gotten skatey-eight million donations so far, a bazillion just this week.

(just in case):

[msongs]

23. I thought bernie was against big money in politics lol....unless its him grabbing the cash nt

[democrattotheend]

24. He's against BIG money

This was an e-mail sent to rank and file supporters. He's against wealthy people and corporations having disproportionate access to him at closed door high-dollar fundraisers. I'm pretty sure he doesn't do those kind of fundraisers at all, or if so rarely.

[George II]

25. No one can give a candidate more than $2800 or $5600 (couple). He has a "rank and file"....

....supporter who gave more than 800 "small" contributions early last year, most were $3.00.

Her aggregate? $2821!

She actually gave seven more $3.00 contributions than permissible. And the Sanders campaign accepted the excess (and got dinged by the FEC for that!)

[redqueen]

35. ...

[Fresh_Start]

28. pity when democrats sponsored bill to stop credit card companies from

preying on college students that they didn't also include prohibition against politicians preying on college students....to make certain they had a cosigner or an income...

[George II]

29. For every $2.70 contribution to Sanders online the credit card company gets a big piece....

There is about a 4% fee plus $0.25-$0.30 per transaction. That's about $0.40, or 15% of the contribution. And then there's finance charges to the user if the bill isn't paid within 30 days.

[NJCher]

31. Why would you even ask that question

when Sanders is at the top and gained more support last night than anyone else?

[NYMinute]

33. K&R nt

[oasis]

34. Bernie's top guy, Jeff Weaver just turned down Mike Bloomberg's offer

to help finance a Sander's run against Trump. So they can't be in too bad off.

[Cha]

36. KICK!

[George II]

37. Two more have showed up in my inbox:

4:18 Daunting
7:10 We need a LOT of donations to reach this goal

That's seven today and it's only 8:00.
