2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders Rally in Los Angeles, CA 8/10/2015 Live feed [View all]I'm betting, like an article I saw earlier today, that the M$M will be in total shock when the next reporting of donation amounts come in.
His small donations have probably shot through the roof as a result of these rallies. He and a small staff fly out to the West Coast and probably spent, what, $10,000 for airfare and hotels. Maybe even as much as $20,000 (doubtful, though, since he takes business class flights). And then he "meets," collectively, with 70,000 people in three days. I bet the return on investment of this trip is probably so a high that a Wall Streeter would be proud if he'd thought it up.

Wasting money? I guess meeting with 100 millionaires is a better "investment"

The overflow is massive. Most candidates would be thrilled with that many people alone.
