4. We don't know that. What that tweet is talking about is "itemized contributions"....

When candidates receive contributions from people, they submit a form or detailed information. There is NO place in any of the forms for them to provide their gender.

This is pure speculation. I'm guessing they're making judgement about the first name of contributors, which is highly flawed at best.

Plus, that chart in the tweet is for total $, not # of contributors. Even if true, but of course it's not, he's received $61.4 million, $17.1 is only 27%, not "about 40%" being claimed.

Swing and a miss, strike three, Annie is OUT!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
