How Sanders and Trump Pulled Off Two Very Different Revolutions

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton faces what may be the 10 longest days of her political life.

In New Hampshire, an angry populist who calls for a revolution and assails the Washington establishment, special-interest lobbyists, big-money politics, and rapacious corporations won an election in a historic move that could shake up and remake American politics.

And Bernie Sanders did, too.

Quote:
Riding a wave of voter anger at traditional politicians, billionaire Donald Trump won New Hampshire's Republican presidential nominating contest on Tuesday and U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont won the Democratic primary.

The results, though decisive, did little to clear up confusion about who would emerge as the establishment contender to Trump on the Republican side, and there were signs that the campaign of Sanders' rival, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was defensive about her future prospects.

Trump's win solidifies his front-runner status in the race to be the party's White House nominee for the Nov. 8 election. The former reality television star has campaigned to deport illegal immigrants and temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States.

Sanders, who describes himself as a democratic socialist, has called for eradicating income inequality, breaking up the big banks and providing free college tuition. He had 58 percent of the vote based on about 21 percent of the vote, ahead of former Secretary of State Clinton, the perceived front-runner nationally, who had 40 percent, CNN said.

"You can be certain that our victory tonight will prompt a desperate response from the nation's financial elite and the political establishment who want to stop our campaign to transform America," Sanders said in an e-mail to supporters.

10:00pm: My analysis and computer simulation of the delegate process still appears to outline a plausible scenario: with all the loopholes in the Republican party’s “proportional” system, Trump only needs about 30% support in a divided field to have a path to get a majority of delegates. That’s why Kasich’s rise and Rubio’s crash tonight are such a big deal.

The 5% figure is incorrect. Of those who thought honesty, etc. was the most important issue, only 5% chose Clinton. Not the same thing.

You are correct josh.

 

Clinton's connections to big business have now become problematic for her. Is there one other person in America who agrees with her lame comment that she never once was influenced by the money she has received from Wall Street? It's comments like that of hers that helps to creates the dishonesty issue for her. Of course the Republicans constantly piling on her hasn't helped either.

How Bernie built a fundraising juggernaut

Sanders' small-donor operation looks spontaneous, but it grew out of careful planning and innovation.

Indeed, Sanders’ campaign has melded its fundraising into its core mission in a way that is without precedent in American political history. It’s more than a means to an end. It is the purpose of his campaign ― the vehicle for regular people to buy into the idea that they can fight back against a moneyed elite that has tilted the scales against them.

--------------------------------

But the numbers definitively prove that her small donor fundraising ― like that of the GOP candidates ― pales in comparison to that of Sanders.

The average donation to his campaign is $27, as Sanders often points out ― so often that the figure prompts knowing nods from his supporters and even became a joke on Saturday Night Live.

Through the end of 2015, the Sanders campaign had raised $54 million in donations of $200 or less, accounting for 72 percent of its total fundraising, according to FEC filings. That’s far more total cash ― and a far higher percentage of overall cash ― from small donors than Clinton (who raised 16 percent of her $116 million from small donors) or any of the GOP presidential candidates. In fact, the percentage of cash Sanders is raising from small donors is more than twice the percentage Obama raised from small donors during his groundbreaking 2008 general election campaign, which his supporters dubbed a “small donor revolution.” (To be sure, the percentage of money from small donors tends to decrease as campaigns wear on and many small donors continue giving, and ultimately cross the $200 threshold).

Plus, as Sanders routinely notes, he lacks a big-money super PAC like the ones devoted to Clinton, which raised $58 million in 2015.

“I do not have a Super PAC, and I do not want a Super PAC," Sanders said during his Tuesday night victory speech. "I am overwhelmed, and I am deeply moved far more than I can express in words by the fact that our campaigns financial support comes from more than one million Americans who have made more than 3.7 million individual contributions.”

That, he pointed out, “is more individual contributions than any candidate in the history of the United States up until this point in an election” ― even than Obama’s campaigns.

And, Sanders asked the raucous crowd, “You know what that average contribution was?”

“Twenty-seven dollars,” they answered back in unison.

Isn't fighting this in politics one of the main reasons Sanders threw his hat into the ring?

How the Clintons embraced Wall Street and made $76,000 a DAY by cashing in with speech after speech - but now Hillary wants to fight to 'rein in' the money men

  • Hillary and Bill Clinton have taken in a total of $150 MILLION since 2001, when he left office
  • In 2015, at the height of their earning power,  she and Bill made $27,946,490 in total - $76,565.72 every day
  • They made speech after speech to Wall Street big names with 39 appearances for banks and other financial and legal institutions
  • She refuses to release transcripts which she ordered to be made of the speeches unless every candidate does the same for all private sector talks 
  • Hillary spoke to series of other bodies, never for less than six figures, and even got $100,000 for a satellite appearance
  • Now she says she wants to 'rein in Wall Street' and get 'secret unaccountable money out of politics'
