Bernie Sanders’s fundraising prowess boosts his post-New Hampshire efforts

[Red Oak]

"Sen. Bernie Sanders took a few moments in his victory speech Tuesday night to make a small request of his supporters: “Please help us raise the funds we need, whether it’s 10 bucks, 20 bucks, or 50 bucks,” he said.

The response was so overwhelming that his website buckled under the traffic. Between the close of the polls and 12:30 a.m., his campaign brought in $2.6 million.

Sanders is barreling out of New Hampshire in a position few anticipated when he first entered the 2016 White House contest: financially competitive with Hillary Clinton."

1. He got $25 from us

I'm 45 and I've never given money to a campaign before. But this is different. The contrast could not be clearer and the stakes could not be higher.

2. Wow!! That's some fundraising!!

And since he references the total number of contributions, a small amount given frequently may be even better than a larger amount every now and then.

6. Here's an analogy:) Like a huge guitar store, the owner doesnt like poor people and loves the rich

so, what would be better, 5 rich people walk in and buy 10 guitars each, or 500 people walk in and buy 2 guitars each?
this is actually based on a true story. The numbers aren't exact but it is basically true. We have the numbers and those will
keep growing.
