I actually think Bernie could raise more money than any politician ever - and all from the 99%!
They say a successful presidential campaign these days ultimately needs to raise several-hundred million dollars. (I disagree, but I'll let that point go.) Anyway, many are wringing their hands, saying that Bernie could never raise such an amount without the 1%, the SuperPACs, Wall Street, corporate donations.
But these people are in denial - Bernie is already raising more money than Hillary. And he can continue to do so right up until November.
There are over 200,000,000 adults in this country. Even in just 5% of them give an average of $100 to Bernie's campaign (as I plan on doing), that's $1 billion dollars. Or 10% give $50, same thing.
That's a lot of money. But if people think this is our one chance to end the corporate stranglehold on our elections once and for all, they will donate to Bernie's campaign like never before.
Ironic, I know. The people raising more money than the 1%. We can do it! And when we do it, the last argument there is to support Hillary is gone.
