Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign raised more than $28 million in the third fundraising quarter of 2015, a number only slightly more than the $25 million Bernie Sanders raised.
Clinton's third quarter fundraising brings her total haul to $75 million, aides said. And while it is less than the $45 million Clinton's campaign raised in the second quarter, it appears the campaign is likely to reach it's $100 million goal by the end of 2015.
Sanders' fundraising is closing in on Clinton, however, despite only ever headlining seven fundraisers as a candidate. Michael Briggs, Sanders' spokesman, said Wednesday night that the campaign has $25 million cash-on-hand after raising $15 million in the second quarter.
(snip)
What's more, since most of Clinton's fundraisers asked donors to pay $2,700 -- the primary campaign maximum -- many of Clinton's donors are likely maxed out. Sanders average campaign donation was $24.86, meaning the candidate can go back to many of his supporters again and again.

(18,791 posts)They have been working the hell out of social media and not wasting money on fluff, like private jets.
I have 100% confidence that they will spend this money wisely.
Good job Berners!

And for Bernie, a great big
