http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/may/20/sanders-tops-clinton-fundraising-fourth-month-row/Only 5 percent of Sanders total came from donors who have given the maximum $2,700 an individual may donate to a candidate, the Sanders campaign said Friday in an press release. Almost half of Hillary Clintons primary campaign committee money comes from maxed-out donors.

(889 posts)Big corporations paid Hillary hundreds of thousands of dollars for short speeches. That's only because they are truly interested in what she has to say. Her insights are really unique. The corporations expect no considerations for all the money they spent.

(84,711 posts)I remember how Ralph Nader has been so criticized for that one.
It was reported in other news (not the interview) that she is in NY Fundraising this weekend. So...there's that to add to the Business Person she might be open to selected for VP.
Wouldn't suprise me at all.

She may win the nomination (hello super delegates) but she'll never win the hearts and minds of average working-class and poor Americans.
Now the board at Goldman Sachs, I think she's found a genuine connection there...

She's been wiping the floor with the Sanders campaign, so it hasn't really been necessary to donate.

(12,689 posts)With that said, Clinton has won despite being outspent by Sanders. This primary is over no matter what Sanders or his supporters say.

(1,595 posts)anotherproletariat
(1,446 posts)been brainwashed. Reality is that Hillary needs only 85 more delegates of the 939 left. And yes, that includes super delegates...the very people who are the committed party officials, who have been supported by the party in their elections, who have known and admired Hillary in her many roles, and who know that their political futures are tied to their support of loyal Democrats.
The same super delegates who Sanders has been demeaning, and scolding for no reason other than he is losing. And who his supporters have been mercilessly threatening for months.
The chances of any of these people switching to Sanders is nil. The race is closed.

In either case, Hillary will be seen as too weak.

(4,734 posts)"And for $25,000, 28 giant companies found their way onto the DLCs executive council, including Aetna, AT&T;, American Airlines, AIG, BellSouth, Chevron, DuPont, Enron, IBM, Merck and Company, Microsoft, Philip Morris, Texaco, and Verizon Communications. Few, if any, of these corporations would be seen as leaning Democratic, of course, but here and there are some real surprises. One member of the DLCs executive council is none other than Koch Industries, the privately held, Kansas-based oil company whose namesake family members are avatars of the far right, having helped to found archconservative institutions like the Cato Institute and Citizens for a Sound Economy. Not only that, but two Koch executives, Richard Fink and Robert P. Hall III, are listed as members of the board of trustees and the event committee, respectivelymeaning that they gave significantly more than $25,000."

Trump is the devil...way worse than Reagan...and will have as many as five court picks.

(38,613 posts)The task force currently combats online political harassment, having already addressed more than 5,000 individuals who have personally attacked Secretary Clinton on Twitter. The task force will provide a presence and space online where Clinton supporters can organize and engage with one another and are able to obtain graphics, videos, gifs, and messaging to use in their own social spaces. Additionally, the Barrier Breakers 2016 task force hopes to embrace the creativity of Hillary Clintons supporters by sharing their efforts and content with other groups.

The continued existence of the Log Cabin Republicans, or the 6% of African-Americans who voted for Mittens over Obama in 2012 prove that there will always be some holdouts.

(11,366 posts)By contrast, the victory fund has transferred $15.4 million to Clintons campaign and $5.7 million to the DNC, which will work closely with Clintons campaign if and when she becomes the partys nominee. And most of the $23.3 million spent directly by the victory fund has gone toward expenses that appear to have directly benefited Clintons campaign, including $2.8 million for salary and overhead and $8.6 million for web advertising that mostly looks indistinguishable from Clinton campaign ads and that has helped Clinton build a network of small donors who will be critical in a general election expected to cost each side well in excess of $1 billion.

Meanwhile, just yesterday, I got this from the Sanders campaign:
Tim endorsed Bernies presidential campaign, and was inspired to run because of Wasserman Schultz support of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. His campaign is funded like ours, by lots of people giving small amounts of money.
And on issues like taking on Wall Street, making tuition free at public colleges, and reforming our broken campaign finance system, he is someone you can be proud to support. Thats why Bernie is endorsing Tims campaign, and why were proud to ask:
Splitting a $2.70 contribution between Bernie 2016 and Tim Canova for Congress will help elect progressives up and down the ballot while sending an UNMISTAKABLE message about our political revolutions commitment to electing candidates who share our values.
Guess you are wrong, huh?

Sanders Fundraising Drops in April
..................He raised nearly $20 million LESS than he raised in March when he had his best fundraising month of the campaign, pulling in $45.9 million.
Sanders has a little less than $6 million cash on hand while Clinton has $30 million in the bank.
