November 25, 2015,

Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) 2016 presidential campaign says they have more female donors than Democratic primary front-runner Hillary Clinton.

Roughly 301,000 women have donated to Sanders's campaign compared to 240,000 for Clinton, a more than 60,00 edge as of the last reporting period at the end of September.

Sanders spokeswoman Symone Sanders touted the numbers as a sign that “the grassroots enthusiasm for Senator Sanders is unmatched by any other candidate.”
“The fact that so many women have decided to donate to the senator’s campaign says that his policies and record are indeed resonating with women across the country,” she told The Washington Post.

1. Myra Adams of the National Review is one of them.

Republican Myra Adams even admits to donating to Sanders' campaign in her article calling for Operation Chaos 2016.

After a GOP power player sent me a piece from left-leaning Salon headlined “Hillary Clinton is going to lose: She doesn’t even see the frustrated progressive wave that will nominate Bernie Sanders,” my heart went pitter-patter, beginning to sense an opportunity.

But it was not until I saw a headline in The Hill warning that the “Sanders surge is becoming a bigger problem for Clinton,” accompanied by “It may be time for Hillary Clinton to take the challenge from Sen. Bernie Sanders more seriously,” that I was truly motivated to join Team Bernie and rally my fellow Republicans to do the same.

So I sent Bernie a donation and visited his campaign store, where my favorite bumper sticker was Vote for Bernie . . . you know you wanna! Now, I don’t really wanna, and neither do you. However, supporting Bernie in the early stages of his campaign is a noble cause that makes a great deal of political sense and emboldens me to announce Operation Chaos 2016.

I'm certain she's not the last Republican woman to do so.

2. Oh, but aren't y'all banking on Republican women to carry your candidate in the general?

Seems I keep hearing that, even though I know there's not cross-over appeal what-so-ever.

BTW, glad she gave money. At least it's not from some HUGE corporation who pays little taxes and cares even less about working Americans.

4. Hey corporations are women too!

[BlueCaliDem]

6. Nope.

These Republican operatives are banking on weakening Hillary Clinton's campaign with donations, tweets, and articles. And they'll lose.

BTW, glad she gave money. At least it's not from some HUGE corporation who pays little taxes and cares even less about working Americans.

I bet you are. Every little bit helps.

Just sayin'.

3. LOL, are you seriously implying that more women donating to Sanders

is actually somehow in Clinton's favor?

Okay.

[BlueCaliDem]

8. No. You are.

My post is self-explanatory.

[Matariki]

11. In the sense that "oh that doesn't really count"

I'm beginning to suspect lots of Clinton supporters are going to wake up wondering what the hell happened the morning after the primaries.

12. If that's what you take from it.

I'm beginning to suspect lots of Clinton supporters are going to wake up wondering what the hell happened the morning after the primaries.

Maybe wondering about the sudden silence on DU, but we're convinced we'll be too busy rejoicing to really be bothered by it.

5. You really want to play the guilt by association with Republicans game?

14. The Trump one should be an avatar on DU just for a chuckle.

16. Someone more talented than I could probably create one.

24. Uhh, maybe this?

or this one is better methinks -

25. Nice. The second one is better.

9. Thank you, Jury members, for keeping it real.

Thank you for posting, pintobean.

13. Well, it ain't 100.

[BlueCaliDem]

15. I never expect it to be. But a LEAVE is a LEAVE is a WIN.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, FE!

[Fawke Em]

22. Happy Thanksgiving to you, too.

Even though I find it the most loathsome holiday of them all. LOL. I do appreciate the time off, though.

How 'bout this: Happy Time Off for Four Days in a Row to You, Too!

[BlueCaliDem]

23. "Happy Time Off for Four Days in a Row to You, too" sounds good to me, too!

10. The campaign said she had a higher percentage of woman donors...

because conversely she had

1.a lower absolute number of female donors

2.a lower absolute number of male donors

and lastly

3.a lower percentage of male donors

So essentially her campaign statement is meant to show that unlike Meatloaf, they believe 1 out or 4 ain't bad....

[Matariki]

17. Yeah, saw that around here the other day

which is why I posted this.

18. Clinton has the women's vote, hands down.

Sanders people can say whatever, but Clinton has the vote.

19. What an illuminating poll from March 2015

That Sanders serge among woman is unprecedented. From being barely known to collecting the most donations from woman among any of these candidates.

[seabeyond]

20. Damn. I put November in search and didnt look. Thanks for pointing it out. nt

[Lans]

21. It's not a problem

keep spreading the message, in March 2015 less than 20% of woman polled had any opinion on Sanders. Now he is suddenly the grassroots candidate of woman across the nation - gathering more woman donors than any other candidate in the race. Those are really important realizations that you brought up with that poll.

[orpupilofnature57]

26. The 1% is dominated by Men, who feeds Hillary ?

[daleanime]

27. Claims? No.

Has. Yes.


The challenge for Bernie isn't to have a better message, he does. It's can we motivate enough people to change this system. That's not going to be easy, but it's necessary if we ever want to start repairing the damage of the last thirty years.
