Hillary's having her own (not quite so dramatic) donation boom.

From WaPo: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/02/16/clinton-campaign-says-it-is-attracting-small-donors-online/

Since the beginning of the year, Hillary Clinton has seen increased contributions from donors giving less than $200 to her campaign, thanks in part, according to campaign figures, to a dramatic increase in people giving online.

New Clinton campaign data reveals a change in Clinton’s fundraising model, from one that in 2015 relied on large donations to one that leans more heavily on small dollar donations of the sort that funded her competitor for the Democratic nomination, Bernie Sanders.

During the last three months of 2015, Clinton raised just 18 percent of her campaign money from Web solicitations. In February, more than 50 percent was donated online for the first time, a trend campaign officials planned for and expect to continue during the primary season.


If it works for someone else, she tries it. Now it's working for her.
