2nd quarter fundraising megathread

Because you need 100 Mio. $+ to compete for IA, NH, SC and NV ... lol.

All this money won't help Hilldog if she cannot win the hearts of people.

Trying to win these 4 small states with 100 Mio. $ is like trying to shoot a fly with a bazooka.

Most of New Hampshire is in the Boston TV market, which is expensive and inefficient to buy.  Plus, national campaigns cost money.  And if things drag on past the first 4 states, it gets a lot more expensive.

I think the issue with the math is the 50,000 number.  What is your source for that?  Because this says:

That makes it sound like 50,000 was the target number of donations over a short interval of time, not the whole quarter.  She would have to have well north of 100,000 donors total for the other numbers to work.

1) 91% of donations isn't the same thing as 91% of donors.  A donor can make multiple donations. 
2) The 50,000 donations number seems a bit low for the first quarter run of the Democratic front-runner.  Especially if Sanders had 200,000.  It's probably 500,000 donations, not 50,000.  That figure could be of donors instead of donations, too.  Media reporting is often sloppy.
