Comparing campaign donations & donators; Hillary vs Bernie

I happen to run up on this just a few minutes ago and this is truly a wake up call between the 2 candidates.
The differences between campaign contributors and the amount they give is really shocking but what gets me is the difference in industries between the 2. Hillary is Wall Street in a lot of respects where as Bernie is Burton snowboards?? Yup lol Who knew!?

This however really speaks volumes.
