    Obama has cut a deal with Lyin' Liz.

    He's telling all of his billionaire friends to donate to her in exchange for her selecting Michelle Obama as her running mate.

    How hypocritical of you as you cry more than anyone in this forum about fake news and here you are promoting fake news.

    probably not worse? That's one of the biggest understatements posted in the forum.

    Bernie Sanders leads the pack in funding, blowing the other candidates out of the water with an average donation amount of $18.

    The $34M is very impressive.

    The average donation amount is a bogus metric, though, as it is manipulated by people who make multiple small donations. If jonnyboy donates $100 to Bernie 28 times, and sallygirl donates $2800 once to Amy, who is the bigger donor?

    The answer is sallygirl, because she's actually a 400lb guy on a bed somewhere.

    Do you find it plausible that Bernie supporters all have an unspoken agreement to make a large number of small donations? I find it more likely that Bernie actually gets support from a large number of average people.

    I don't think it is a conspiracy, but Bernie's campaign does encourage small, repeat donations, it's not exactly a secret.
    That said, it is also true that he gets donations from a large number of average people.

    Are campaign contributions just now becoming an issue?

    Bernie only accepts small donations. If you want to give more then you're going to have to make multiple small donations.

    I believe he is just opposed to taking donations from billionaires, corporations and lobbyists. If you want to donate a few thousand dollars, you don’t have to do it in $18 increments. Is it so hard to believe that regular working people are supporting Sanders?
