Bernie Sanders passes Obama fundraising mark
One more reason why the dust up with the DNC does not make any sense? Impressive feat for the Sanders
campaign.
Bernie Sanders passes Obama fundraising mark
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.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

Re: Bernie Sanders passes Obama fundraising mark
What's the 'Drudge Poll'? I never heard of it.
Anyway, although I'm a Sanders supporter, I often wonder how these 'winner' vs 'loser' debate things work and what criteria is used to determine winners and losers. Ideas? Hair style? Voice tone? Combativeness? Appearance on stage? Could be about anything, I guess.

Re: Bernie Sanders passes Obama fundraising mark
I think that the "dust up" s pretty much over, and never was that big a deal in the first place.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

No, it wasn't, but the media loves this kind of crap and wants to fan the flames.
