Hillary Admits Bernie is About to Win

The end of year fundraising contest...

Sorry, had to, but wait - I'm totally serious!

"Hillary Clinton’s campaign sent out a fundraising email on Tuesday with a shocking admission: “Bernie Sanders’ campaign is on track to outraise us this month.”

Please donate before midnight tonight to ensure that your $$$ helps Bernie hit this IMPORTANT milestone. Let's show the DNC and Hillary who the people really support.

Second that "information", presented today, is more than a week old, and third, if Sanders supporters have to rely on information presented by Tucker Carlson, et. al., that's a sign of desperation.

I have the email being discussed in the Daily Caller, it doesn't say what the OP is claiming it says.

Mook: Bernie Sanders 'On Track To Outraise' Hillary
12:00 AM, JAN 01, 2025 | By SHOSHANA WEISSMANN
www.weeklystandard.com/mook-bernie-sanders-on-track-to-outraise-hillary/article/2000321

Here's the pertinent part of The email (which came from Mook) :

Friend --

Bernie Sanders' campaign is on track to outraise us this month.

They say they've brought in more individual contributions than any candidate has ever had at this point in a primary. That means two things: (1) more of his supporters are chipping in to fund his campaign, even though we know we have more support; and (2) when we go into our first contests in Iowa and New Hampshire, we might not have the resources we'll need to really compete.

So...What was misrepresented?

they are trying to get their donors to think more is needed and the opposition is doing better.
