Sanders Raises $25.3 million for third Quarter

[Butler1000]

It's the highest total yet by any candidate in any Quarter.

Average donation of just over $18 per donation. 99.9% of his donators can do it again because they have not reached the max allowed. 1.4 million individual donors.

Best damn poll is the who is opening their wallets for who.

First, all the major candidates will have enough money.

Second, does Sanders' support measure real breadth or simply the depth of his support? I know you will say that he has mostly small contributors which is true. I would argue that the vast majority of the electorate does not contribute to political campaigns. The contribution and commitment of one voter is interesting, but their vote is not any more important than any other voter.

Yes it does. He has continued to add more new donors every quarter. And he is apparently adding a fair amount in districts that flipped from Obama to Trump.

While the vote is the same in general, this is the Primaries. About 10 million votes decide it. He has far and away more donors. I'm betting most donors this early are primary voters. Taken as a percentage of total donors so far it's clear he is farther ahead than the polls show.

As too the rest Mayor Pete drew 19.1 million. Alot but down from his 24 million previous. I'm waiting for the rest to announce.

He can't win the Democrats don't want him as their leader, they will screw him over every time he gets close.

They may not have a choice. There is a pathway. And he is taking it.

They do have a choice, they can fix it so he doesn't win. They don't consider him a Democrat. He is an independent. He's not one of them, they will choose Warren over him if they choose the progressive route.

First ballot has no Superdelegates. And after 2016 the delegates are watching close. Any hint and the convention will turn into a riot.

I'm not kidding.

Cory Booker announces 6 million.

Kamala Harris 12.6 million.

Explain how this works from here on out if you can please.

In the first round of balloting at the convention if there is no clear winner going in the Superdelegates do not get to vote. Depending on the state some have winner take all, some have it where if a candidate gets 15% + of the vote they can count those partial delegates as theirs.

Delegates can be redesignated by the candidates to another one.

If no clear winner comes out of the first ballot the Superdelegates can vote in the second round.

That's where they screw him in the second round where the chosen ones get to vote, Democratic my ass.

Yup. That's why he is going to try for the whole thing.

Remember this. If he is the frontrunner and they screw him over again it will be in front of the nation.

And Trump will win if it happens. That's why the first ballot will be key.

I think Trump will win anyway, he's killing the Democrats when it comes to raising money, he raised double the amount of all the Democrats put together.

He is raising more money right now because many Democrat supporters will wait until the nominee is decided before giving.

Once it's settled the money will be there.

The issue the Dems will have is if they put up a vulnerable candidate Trump will hit them. Part if why he won is he is actually very good at attacking from the left. Biden and Warren are vulnerable to this.

Sanders? I don't think so. He is clean.

I’m not a Trump supporter but he raised $125 million in the 3rd quarter.

 

[Butler1000]

With only 4 reporting and two front runners not reported about 60 million for the Dems.

Add together, it's close. And as I said above alot not yet given.

How is he clean? He has the same platform as Warren, a socialist.
