Thousands More Women Donate to Sanders than ClintonSen. 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 senators campaign says that his policies and record are indeed resonating with women across the country, she told The Washington Post.

And I would love to see the economic breakdown of these women re Berinie V Hillary.
And these numbers for Bernie are only going to increase as more and more people get to know him.
This woman is a proud Bernie Supporter, the real Feminist in this election.
You can't support WAR and claim to support WOMEN!
Go Bernie!

(14,255 posts)4. In the opinion of this woman, playing the gender card right out of the gate,
and continuing to play it, was downright insulting to me. The idea that I would vote for a Wall Street war hawk just because we are both women is insulting. This is not what women's lib is all about. Not at all. I don't think that even Sarah Palin used the "vote for me because I am a woman" theme.
And yeah - being enthusiastic for more war does not translate into caring for women and children. Or our children who would go to kill and be killed.
