3rd quarter fundraising megathread

You'd think that people smart enough to become billionaires would be smart enough to not back Carson.

Carson is actually smart, Fiorina on the other hand is a total disgrace and a really loose cannon. Did you forget already what she did on abortion?? That was ten times worse than what Walker and Rubio combined did on abortion, and that was already really horrific. The girl is insane.

Bush has raised a lot of money.  Trump has deep pockets.  Carson and Cruz can rely on grassroots support to remain competitive.  Rubio and Fiorina are the ones to look out for.

Rubio is starting to get all the endorsements, so I don't think we should be worried about him. Don't forget Christie too, he's on the rise.

It seems to me that Sanders is about to overtake Clinton in cash on hand in the next few weeks, due to her having almost thrice the burn rate of him.

What really means something is of course the cash on hand numbers, not the amount raised (see how far that brought Walker in the end lol). The only 11 candidates to still be millionaires when it comes to cash on hand are these, ranked:

1. Clinton: $33m
2. Sanders: $27.1m

3. Cruz: $13.8m
4. Carson: $11.3m
5. Rubio: $11m
6. Bush: $10.3m

7. Fiorina: $5.5m

8. Kasich: $2.6m
9. Paul: $2.1m
10. Graham: $1.6m (!)
11. Christie: $1.4m

Maybe Graham will just stay it out (mouth watering at the thought of South Carolina), waiting for an opportunity to finally be in one of those top 10 debates once the other minor candidates drop out one after the other.
