Amid DNC dust-up, Sanders raises $1 million in a single day, campaign associate says

Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders has seen an uptick in fundraising, bringing in more than $1 million on Friday alone, amid his campaign’s dust-up with the Democratic National Committee, according to a person directly familiar with the campaign’s finances.

Sanders on Friday was dealing with the fallout of a story that usually wouldn’t be considered good news: accusations that several staffers inappropriately accessed a DNC-controlled voter file and viewed proprietary information collected by the party’s front-runner, Hillary Clinton.

But Friday afternoon, the Sanders campaign went on offense against the DNC, claiming that it had vastly overreacted by shutting off the campaign’s access to the voter file -- including information that Sanders’s team had amassed itself.

Sanders’s supporters responded to the dispute by opening their wallets. By the end of the day Friday, the campaign had collected more than $1 million, the vast majority of it over the Internet, according to the person close to the campaign, who requested anonymity to more freely discuss a number that Sanders has not announced.

But, the second donation was a 50/50 split. Half of the money went to Sen. Sander's campaign and the other half went to the Working Families Party. I'm happy that I can donate to a candidate and party at the same time and still be able to sleep well at night.

Instead he acted like this



He did what he should have done and my understanding is now at least 2 other people got fired. And he took action against the heavy handed and unfair way Derpy Whatta Schmuck (ty Scootaloo) acted.

The Internet polls are in congruence with Ann Selzer's poll and predictions. The bought and paid for MSM polls? Not so much. Which has detached itself from reality?
