Bernie Sanders passes Obama fundraising mark

[n2doc]

By GABRIEL DEBENEDETTI


Bernie Sanders has gotten more individual donations than any other presidential candidate ever through the campaign's off-year — topping President Barack Obama's mark of 2,209,636 donations through Dec. 31, 2011 — his team announced following Saturday night's Democratic debate.

Sanders passed Obama's re-election total during the debate, his communications director Michael Briggs said.

The news comes just one day after the campaign raised over $1 million amid a major blowup over its role in accessing Hillary Clinton's campaign data, and just two days after the campaign said it brought in $3 million at the beginning of the week. While it has trailed Clinton's effort in fundraising overall, it has shown major muscle in the online and small-dollar fundraising department.

Sanders' average donation during the debate was under $25, said Briggs.

6. He's a force to be reckoned with!

And TPTB know it! Hence, the DNC set-up.

He had a fantastic week last week! Endorsed by CWA, Endorsed by DFA, 2 Million individual donations, beat DWS and her corrupt DNC at their own game, passed Obama's fundraising benchmark and WON THE DEBATE! Yeah, he doesn't have a chance in hell of being the Democratic nominee.

PEACE
LOVE
