Related: About this forumHow Much of Warren's $24.6 Million Haul Came From Big Donor Fundraisers?
Isn't that the reason her finance director resigned - because she was cutting off the significant cash stream?
Has she gone back on her pledge? How could she possibly outraise Biden by $9 million without the fancy-pants fundraisers that are a hallmark of the modern Democratic Party?
What gives?

(2,061 posts)It's like Sanders saying he doesn't do big dollar fundraisers and then shows up at an extremely high end restaurant to talk to a bunch of multi millionaires who have maxed out donations.
They need to quit this little fundraiser as optics game.

(31,261 posts)they are looking for favors. A rich person who gives because he or she fully believes in Democratic Party goals and objectives should NEVER be pushed away because they are rich, and our candidates need to be clear that many rich people donate because they are democrats and are not looking for favors or an inside hand.

(2,061 posts)I wish she would be more receptive to big donor fundraisers. Seems her position here is only outlined through the primary.

(2,461 posts)"fundraising numbers illustrate the financial strength of the partys most progressive wing and a rejection of more traditional approaches to pressing donors for money"
will come back to edit for source, or not, cause this is just an opinion, but happens to be one I think is true.
