In related news I heard that Jeb has already had 70 fundraisers (averaging 1 every other day). I'm curious how much money the two nominees will spend. $2 bil? $5 bil? $10 bil. Needless to say they'll both fill the air with commercials starting early next year.

BTW - can you point to a General Assembly that endorsed Bernie? Or was it a bunch of individuals who endorsed Bernie on Occupy's behalf? Just like I could claim Planned Parenthood has endorsed Hillary since I'm a member (actually, she can probably get the endorsement herself).

(31,849 posts)Really? Or, were you referring to that very small portion of the "99%" that are both Bernie supporters AND a part of occupy?

(19,537 posts)Even the balcony seats (limited availability) are $45... I wonder how much of the "99%" can afford that?

(94,757 posts)99% of the population includes a huge number who can spend $45 on a political campaign. Either that or the number of 1%ers in NYC is massive, given the number I see on the shopping streets and at the movies.

(19,537 posts)Now whether they can "afford" it is another question. Some people can make a point of paying that much money if they care about it, but just to attend one political speech? How many of those "limited availability" seats were there. I think the real entry fee was a baseline $100 that was for "general admission". It's ok to recognize that these are pricey, but to say that this speech was targeted at the 99% is a bit disingenous with that pricing.

(94,757 posts)...Most people, of every income strata, don't get involved in politics. The issue is that, if they choose to, a $45/$100/$250 event with a candidate with a strong chance of being President is a great value for those who are interested.
