8. Raising the most money does not necessarily equate to Victory

I'd still rather raise more money than less money ….Why are the donor class putting so much money on Mayor Pete and pulling back on Joe Biden ? ….. Biden is the clear frontrunner ...It makes no sense ..The oligarchs always want to curry favor with the likely winner .. The q4 Bernie fundraising demonstrates incredible enthusiasm on the part of his supporters ...He is going to outperform his polling support …. By about 3% in primaries/national polling and 5% in high turnout caucuses like the one taking place in Iowa ….His base is fired up like Hell ...

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