Bernie contributed 2.3 million the other candidates contributed 7 million.

Bernie Sanders. 2,338,693.12
Elizabeth Warren 1,749,137.93
Pete Buttigieg 1,732,924.26

Joe Biden 1,061,699.44

Here’s a clue. These campaigns are making a lot of people rich. CC companies, newspapers, Twitter, Facebook, network tv, cable tv, radio stations, ad buyers, convention halls, restaurants, charter bus and plane companies, rental car companies, sign makers, wacky inflatable waving arm sign makers and tshirt makers.

And, for some, canapés distributors.


I’d rather my money pay for transaction services than have the bundlers swarming my candidates. Or worse yet, candidates advertising special access for big donors.
