Feb 2016

he has an unlimited supply of $27 donations. And people without work? Well, they have spouses, unemployment et al who can spare an extra $27 here and there. They are the ones who need him the most. Bernie asks for donations for free...on debate stages, and millions flow in. It's HRC that is having to make the frequent trips to the Gold Vault.

A lot of people like me put our small contributions on auto-withdraw...in our budgets...and every month I look at that withdrawal with pride.

I think it may be just the opposite, as HRC continues to drop as she does not have upward momentum, but is relying on the establishment, large donors may experience the all-too-reminiscent Clinton Fatigue.
