Why the author of this piece insists on still calling Clinton "the front-runner" is unclear, since
the Primary is now in a dead heat, across the board; but I love how when Bernie is unfairly
attacked, his base responds by sending him some love $$$. It's not the first time this has
happened either; it's a continuing trademark of his campaign, and a daunting one at that,
if you are running against him and all you have are baseless attacks and lies.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has seen a surge in campaign donations in recent days amid a barrage of attacks from rival Hillary Clinton.
Thanks, Team Clinton, Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said Wednesday, The Washington Post reported.
As of now, we are at about $1.4 million raised since yesterday when the panic attacks by the Clinton campaign began, he continued.
Weve gotten 47,000 contributions. Were projecting 60,000 donations. Even for our people-powered campaign, this is pretty darn impressive.
Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, has bombarded Sanders with attacks in recent days.

than counter-balance your 4 points IMHO.
