Sanders had outspent Biden by over $17 million by 9/30/19, but he still trails Biden

[highplainsdem]

Warren had outspent Biden by nearly $6 million.

Buttigieg and Harris had spent nearly as much as Biden.

But none of them could overtake Biden.

So let's put the comparisons of total fundraising amounts in perspective.

Biden doesn't have to outraise or outspend his rivals to outdo them in a political race.

People are thinking about which candidate they want to lead the Democratic Party, and which one they want for POTUS and Commander-in-Chief. Which one can beat Trump.

We're NOT picking a Campaign-Fundraiser-in-Chief, or a Campaign-Spender-in-Chief.

5. The National Polling is underestimating Bernard's Support

Bernie is likely doing 3%- 4% better than his national polling numbers indicate ...Partly because most pollsters almost endemically oversample seniors and undersample voters aged 18-34 ….The polls are also not picking up the enthusiasm Bernie is attracting amongst his supporters ( Witness the blowout q 4 fundraising totals)… This is particularly true in the Caucus States …………… I am delighted that so many people are still saying Bernie's candidacy is a hopeless cause …...Lowering Expectations and Greatly surmounting them once the votes are tallied will create a bigger Bounce for Bernard in the polls ….

6. Do you have any proof of that assertion?

If so, let's see it. Similar assertions were made in 2016 and proved to be baseless.

7. Well, first you add 10 momentum points for every state he won in a row, and multiply that by

how much birds like him. Now, you do have to subtract a point for every media outlet that is BLOCKING HIM OUT! But even after you do that you can see that he's winning in a landslide.
