2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe other math impacting this race.
Over 5 million individual donations averaging a little over 27 bucks each.
That looks like over $130 million to me, and growing.
We should get the quarterly numbers in early April. Right when Hillary is in the middle of a stretch of races that will be tough for her.
Se could go for weeks without a win after March 15th. If her quarterly numbers look bad right when she is in the middle of a losing streak it could add insult to injury.
Yes, she is ahead on delegates. But can she keep the money flowing to fight this race until the end?
Time will tell.

(22,308 posts)I got 3 big colorful mailers from the Hillary campaign. No calls or any other contact. I am guessing it cost them at least a little bit of money to send me those high quality mailers.
From Bernie's campaign I got one call on my land line, 2 on my cell and a series of texts. All from people claiming to be volunteers. No mailers etc.
If we assume unlimited calls and texts and that those people were really volunteers, Bernie spent next to nothing to get my vote. Hillary on the other hand did spend something and didn't get my vote.
I am thinking the money race favors Bernie. He just seems to be running a better campaign.

(274 posts)As we've seen... or not, of Bernies MSM exposure both in print & TV, you know, the folks always showing the drug commercials with all their associated legal disclaimer's. She'll have all the money she needs from the 1%, though the less fortunate will indeed get tapped out on FEC limits. Her FEC reports will tell a story she does not want to tell, when it's chock full of Banks, Pacs, Military industrial peeps, Oil and other energy peeps and of coarse the big Corporations.
Have you ever noticed when Bernie speaks at all his rally's, the corporate labels are removed from his water bottles and all you see is the transparent bottle of water. Though when he speaks at an event... not in control of his camp, the bottles will have labels. Scan his rally speeches, then check out the most recent DNC debate in Flint, MI. -- Granted I could not make out the corporate name on the bottled water he had at the DNC debate in Flint, I'm sure the attention to detail is no accident.
I give a $27 monthly auto-pay and often while in a celebratory mood... kick in $20.16. It leaves me, one of his contributors about $1,800 more to give before the primaries end, then of course that leaves another $2,500 left to give him in the GE... Hillary can spend her own money like Trump the Chump, cuz they ain't getting nothing from me.
