Bernie IS Phenomenal: $3.2 Million In Less Than 3 Days

I am SO sick of the concern troll and nervous nellies frequenting our group the past couple of days. Hillary has the votes of the overpaid corporate media, but the people love BERNIE:

The Democratic debate as energized Bernie Sanders supporters as the Democratic candidate raised an amazing $3.2 million in three days this week all from small donors.

According to the Sanders campaign:

And in a remarkable turn of events, there has been a record surge in online donations this week. More than 97,800 contributions poured in totaling some $3.2 million since Tuesday, when the first Democratic debate was held in Las Vegas, through mid-afternoon on Thursday. The average donation $32.28.

If each one of us could somehow give the $2700 max allowed he'd be at $1.7 billion by the generals.

Obviously that's not realistic. But it shows just how untapped his reserves are. And that doesn't even account for new donors poring in.

A lot of us with limited resources are sending in what we can now, and we hope to continue giving the closer we get to November 2016. But I hope to give more when we get closer to the primaries, for media ads. And then again in September & October 2016.

enough of these giving $20 each month or quarter provides steady income. There are 300 million people in this country and most of them are not in the top 1% by definition. Instead we send our small donations and they all add up.

primary or both the primary and the general? In other words can a donor give the limit during the primary and then again during the general?

I am nowhere near that amount but just wondering.

Each primary, runoff, and general election counts as a separate election.

So, it means you can give $2,700 in the Primary and you can give $2,700 in the General.

All together you can give Bernie $5,400, if you've got it.

Go Bernie Go!
