Look at the difference in average contribution size between Hillary and Bernie.
Tells quite a story, don't you think?
Hillary gets most of her money from the wealthy donating $2700 (the maximum allowed)
Bernie gets most of his money from working men and women in small amounts. Less than $50 per donation.

(30,058 posts)People who have donated less than $200 that million people is not counted in the total contributors. The amiunt is recorded and reported in the total amount so she will not be reporting an average of $27 apiece, simple.

(19,326 posts)in a desperate attempt to
1) drive her "number of donations" up, and
2) drive her "average size of donation" down.
so these numbers are actually far worse than they appear., just saying.
