I think this only shows that the people who like him really like him. Not necessarily that the polls are wrong…

Good for him by the way. I like him too. Id be happy if he was leading the polls. Just doubting the logic that more donations necessarily means more voters.

Can we please just get a Sanders/Warren or Warren/Sanders ticket, already?

“Sanders out fundraises them all” we haven’t seen the other campaign’s Q3 numbers so that headline is really putting the cart before the horse.

There are many problems with that approach, but the first one is… who’s the VP?
Still crossing my fingers for Harris…

I was going to say the same and also that…if you see the candidate you like slipping in the pools aren’t you more likely to contribute and conversely if your candidate is leading or surging aren’t you more likely to hold off thinking “They’re good”.
Wasn’t this the same sort of mentality that lead to lower turn out for Clinton in 2016?
“Oh she has this in the bag…no way Trump wins”

Our family has donated $3.00 here and $5.00 there, about $250.00 so far, it ain’t rocket science folks, if you want a candidate to win, you got’a support them.

I’ll take old and right over young and wrong.

I think that dichotomy only exists if you assume all the non-white non-old choice are wrong.
I’ll take old and left.

Having watched the debates, I stand by my choice.

I guess I don’t agree that the VP pool is limited to those folks on the stage.

I would suggest cold-calling Keith Ellison from now until Iowa.
