1. K & R!!

This is very illuminating. I read this article, plus the previous one where they fact-checked the claim about donors:

Both articles are worth a read. Thanks for posting!

3. Just to eliminate the suspense: Conclusion of the fact check on donations is "Mostly true."

Our ruling

Social media memes say that Clinton’s top 10 donors are mainly "banks, corporations and media," while Bernie Sanders’ top 10 donors are labor unions. This contention fits quite closely with campaign data from the Center for Responsive Politics. However, it’s worth noting that this data refers to cumulative donations as far back as the 1980s, rather than just donations to their current presidential bids. The statement is accurate but needs clarification, so we rate it Mostly True.

2. This one and the one rhett o'rick posted in GD: P are good to copy and paste and print out

to hand out to people in blue states (like mine). The only potential problem of which I am aware is, Rick's chart says Hillary endorsed equal marriage in 2010 and I read she didn't endorse it until 2013. (Obama re-endorsed it in 2012.)
