WASHINGTON (CNN) —Bernie Sanders raised $6.4 million in the 24 hours since the polls closed in New Hampshire, his campaign said Wednesday.

The large haul, which bests the $3 million he raised after his narrow loss to Hillary Clinton in Iowa, is further evidence of the digital fundraising juggernaut his campaign has built.
This is now the record as the largest single day primary fundraising in US history.

The average contribution of each donation is about $30. Its impossible to buy a candidate for $30 but it is possible to buy a president who wont be bought. Its encouraging to see these small signs of democracy instead of people allowing billionaires like Sheldon Adelson, the Koch brothers and Wall St to buy political puppets to enrich themselves further.

I immediately donated. This candidate deserves my support as no other candidate since Eugene McCarthy. Bernie has True Grit.

The Kochs bros.' first donations were to Democrats, and they have been doing so for a long time since:

But Sanders's fringe, marginal peanut gallery can keep dumping Democratic Socialist money down the hole as long as they want. It doesn't matter to fellow Democratic Socialist comrade Clinton.

The loony Sanders cuckoo supporters (with their fringe hopeful's 44 delegates to comrade Clinton's 394) will have to do a whole lot better at the Democratic Socialist polls in upcoming states than they have managed so far.

From what I have read on the background of Bernie Sanders, I fail to see any reason why this person could garner any support at all. The guy has been a loser his whole life.
He is the Dem counterpart of Trump, however the difference is that Trump has a history of accomplishment.

I would have serious doubts about the judgment of anyone who would vote for either Sanders or Clinton.

So far he is proposing the largest redistribution schemes, which equals popularity of the masses.

The biggest redistribution scheme has taken place over the past 40 years though. From the middle to the top 0.1%. Fewer and fewer people are willing to put up with that.
