Hillary said that she wanted to raise $50,000,000 in all of Jan, Feb & March. so Bernie has blown passed that mark in less than 2/3rds the time and at this rate could reach twice that mark by the end of March!

Poor guy is going to get blown out of the water tomorrow.

You think he'll refund the money?

when the drive-by frat boys poop all over a positive Bernie thread in which Sanders supporters are celebrating good news or positive thoughts

Such kindness. Such class.

I'm totally picturing Chet from Weird Science right now.

I know they can donate to other races, or save for future elections, but I'm not sure I've seen anyone refund...?

The exception for 400 is why 2000 had 29 days in February.

The calendar is fascinating.

completely fascinating.

A lot of software has bugs in it because people write the calendar manually and don't realize these minutiae. It caused problems in 2000 because it was an exception to the always x4, never x100 rule.

they don't have to donate because the big people got it covered....

the mocking they exhibit (see above) is indicative of their non-investment on a personal financial level because, and they are proud of the fact, though they don't seem to see the true ramifications, that she doesn't need their money...

yeah, send her a dollar at a time, 10 or 20 times a day, so she can say "I, too, have millions of small donors..."

Their fear and loathing, and a dread that having SuperPACs, superdelegates and the news media in her pocket may not be enough.
