New Democrat For Life Bernie Sanders Raised A Jaw-Dropping $46 Million In March

Newly minted Democrat for life, Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) announced tonight that his presidential campaign's army of small donors raised an eye-popping amount of nearly $46 million in March.

In March, Sanders’ grassroots campaign received 1.7 million contributions from more than 900,000 individual donors. Sanders’ campaign has now raised more than $200 million since he launched his campaign in April 2015, including more than $110 million in the first quarter of 2016.

The average contribution for the month was $26.20, just under the long-term average Sanders cites in his stump speech.

Unlike other candidates, Sanders’ small-dollar donations allow him to run his primary campaign without the help of a Wall Street-funded super PAC. More than 96 percent of Sanders’ money comes from donors who have not maxed-out to his primary campaign and can give again. In fact, only 127 donors maxed-out to the campaign in March.

Sanders’ campaign reported more than $17 million cash on hand.

Bernie voters, putting their money where their mouth is. . .

Last I heard a few days ago, down to a million bucks.

But she's fund raising in China in a few days! True.

...in exchange for money. But I suppose there are no transcripts of the fundraising pitch.

5. Misinformation again. Sen Sanders opposes the influence of the Billionaires and Wall Street.

Most of Sen Sanders contributions come from everyday people and that's who he is beholden to, unlike Clinton who is beholden to the billionaires and Wall Street banksters you do admire.

Funny how all Democrats stood together against the Citizens United decision and yet now the Clinton Wing has decided to embrace the ruling as they embrace the bias of the Corp-Media. Situational ethics.

I guess we are on opposite sides of this class war. We have an uphill battle but we will prevail over the Big Money corruption.
