4th quarter fundraising #s

So she raised $55 million. That's great. Bernie might have raised more money for his campaign than she did for hers but she's done more for the Democratic party than he'll ever do.

What exactly does the 15 Million for the Democratic party mean?  Did she just give some of the money her campaign raised to the DNC, or hold fundraisers specifically for the DNC, or what?

She asked people who had reached the donation limit to instead donate more to the DNC and other state Democratic parties.

I nailed it.

Sanders raises $33 million.

I think based on the number of contributions/average donation, Sanders raised about 30-35 million $.

33 Mio. $ is not that bad, especially because you basically don't need any money for IA, NH, NV and SC.

It's not exactly nailing it when your prediction was a margin of $5 million.

And Castro raises a good point - $33m is pretty good, especially for a primary quarter, but Hillary did just so great. Much better than what the Republicans have raised, anyway. And hopefully a lot of those donors still donate during the general. I think one of the reasons for Bernie's high burn rate is probably due to his inexperienced campaign spending a lot of money on consultants or focus groups.

It's not crazy to think you're being outraised when every other day, the other campaign is shouting "we got a million more new donations!"
