Bernie Sanders raises $5.2 million after New Hampshire win
Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders raised $5.2 million in the 18 hours since the polls closed Tuesday night in New Hampshire, his campaign said, in the wake of a primary in which he beat rival Hillary Clinton by about 20 percentage points.
That stunning figure is a quarter of what Sanders raised in the entire month of January, when he outpaced Clintons fundraising for the first time. Its also more than the amount that former Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley raised over the course of his entire campaign, before quitting the race last week.
In his victory speech on Tuesday, Sanders said he was holding a fundraiser right here, right now, across America. He asked his audience to donate 10 bucks, 20 bucks, or 50 bucks to help him take the fight to Nevada, South Carolina and the states on Super Tuesday.

(23,550 posts)4. It blows my mind when I think about the amount of work people put in
for that kind of money. The hours for physical labor etc from people putting in time at their jobs.
Then I think about soros writing that 8 million dollar check to the Hillary super pac and I get sick.
Just like we all can raise 6.2 million again . He can write many more 8 million dollar checks. The system is such a mess.

(58,366 posts)5. I do believe this will be a marathon rather than a sprint but Bernie's contributions do have
a couple of advantages over Hillary's super pac funds.
By law Hillary can't use those super pac funds for paid workers and the ground game, Bernie can do with his funds as he wishes, giving him much more flexibility.

Still that 8 million dollars and soros makes me

when non-political people hear those kinds of numbers they get curious and pay attention to what is so special about the recipient.
