On CNN’s State Of The Union, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) announced that his presidential campaign against corporate greed, the attempted Koch hostile takeover of the government, and income inequality has now raised over $4 million from 100,000 contributors.

Sanders was asked if he really had a pathway to victory.

Sen. Sanders answered:

I think there is more discontent with establishment politics, with the greed of corporate America than many people perceive. I think we have a good shot. I am not going to deny for one moment that I go into this race an underdog. Hillary Clinton will have a lot more money than we have. But let me say this, even in terms of money, we’ve been in this race for a couple of weeks, and we’ve raised over $4 million, because people are sending on average, not a million dollars, not ten thousand dollars. Forty-three dollars per contributor to berniesanders.com. We have now 100,000 contributions.

Sen. Sanders promised to hold a civil debate with former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, but he openly questioned whether the media would give them coverage if they focused on issues instead of tearing each other apart.

2. And most of those 100,000 ( plus many thousands more who've yet to chip in) are also going to...

... mobilize.

i.e : They're going to call, canvass, travel to battle-ground states, persuade, cajole. In short: they're going to do whatever is necessary.

Clinton's corporate apparatus can't match that. A couple of early season upsets might just make political history.

3. Working hard, staying focused, and fingers crossed..we'll see. I am hopeful too. n/t

4. .5% of the eight hundred million dollars the Koch's have said they are going to spend.

Dig deep people.

5. That's right, they're well armed and connected. One way to beat them is to highlight

their Goliath status, how fair does that look to the American people?

Not fair at all, so lets change it and our conversation of how bills have been
passed in recent history, their connection to it, who has benefited from this
legislation? We get to define what a thriving democracy looks like, not them.

Lots of ways to fight back.

6. P.S. Don't vote for the candidate who has the most money
