$22 million of the dollars Hillary raised this quarter came from fundraisers she headlined

[cali]

Kind of kills the false narrative that she is largely funded by small donors. She is not.

<snip>

According to CNN's analysis, fundraisers personally headlined by Clinton brought in at least $22 million in the forth quarter.

1. wonder how many $1 donations she got at the end to bring her average down

[Punkingal]

2. She's struggling to get small donors....

snip:

Mr. Sanders’s campaign has aggressively targeted and courted low-dollar donors, developing a deep network of people it could keep tapping for new contributions.

Mrs. Clinton, by contrast, struggled in the second and third quarters of the year to establish a low-dollar donor base, relying primarily on fund-raising events with ticket prices of $2,700 to bring in donations.

3. $2,700 a pop is her idea of a low-dollar donor base?

That's more than I have coming in a month. That's more than many, many retirees have coming in a month.

That is one of the many reasons I'm supporting Senator Sanders.

[Punkingal]

4. Yep....

And she lied in the last debate, talking about her small donors.

[CorporatistNation]

7. Anything Else New To Add?

94% small donors?

[sarge43]

13. OK. What is the average amount donated to Clinton's campaign? Care to add that to the discussion?

For Sanders it's 27 dollars and change.

11. Come on, an average middle class household

makes 250K/year!

[demwing]

12. Why not, if Hillary thinks $250k is "middle class"

Then we already know she lives in an ivory tower, right?

[tecelote]

15. It's hard to connect with small donors from here...

5. The previous quarters had about 2/3rds of her money from maxed out donors

I expect that to continue.

[Vattel]

6. Her campaign's relentless appeals for $1 donations was more

an effort to make her look better politically than to raise money. In fact some of the emails from her campaign admitted that this was the rationale for the pleas for $1.

[cali]

10. It's so basically dishonest

[demwing]

14. HEY, Why aren't you ready for Hillary?

She "earns" a middle class income every time she gives a speech to a Wall Street bank, just like your abuela.

[CorporatistNation]

8. BTW, I got an Unsolicited Email From Hillary Asking Me Out To Dinner... If you can Believe That

last week... So how did Hillary Inc. get my email address? Bernie's database maybe? Ya think?

9. Kicked and recommended!
