Clinton shatters $100M fundraising goal

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign announced Friday it raised $37 million for the primary campaign in the last three months of 2015, breaking the $100 million goal the campaign had set earlier in the year, aides said Friday.

Clinton's campaign, which started raising money for the Democratic National Committee and state Democratic parties this quarter through the Hillary Victory Fund, also raised $18 million in the joint fundraising effort, meaning the campaign raised a total of $55 million for the quarter.


In all, the Clinton campaign has raised $112 million for the primary since launching in April. Heading into 2016, the campaign has roughly $38 million cash on hand, according to aides.

As it appears that BS & crew have declared war on the DNC, I'm guessing....not much.

6. 94% of donations were in increments of $100 or less & over 60% of donations were from women

As CNN BEGRUDGINGLY notes at the END of the article by adding an insulting "Clinton aides boasted on Friday that" preface:  

Clinton aides boasted on Friday that 94% of their donations were in increments of $100 or less and more than 60% of donations were from women.


Does CNN add the word "boast" when repeating Sanders staffers" stats about their individual doners?

Must be tough for the MSM when a meme comes crashing down.
