Sanders hauls in eye-popping $18.2M in first quarter
By Max Greenwood - 04/02/19 10:11 AM EDT

Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt.) presidential campaign raised $18.2 million in the first quarter of 2019, his advisers said Tuesday, a massive sum that is likely to put the progressive firebrand among the top fundraisers of the early 2020 Democratic primary season.

Sanders, who announced his second bid for the White House in February, has already proven to be an adept fundraiser, raising nearly $6 million in the first 24 hours after launching his campaign. By the end of his first week on the trail, he had raised $10 million.

Sanders's campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, said the senator's first-quarter fundraising total was powered by roughly 900,000 individual donations with an average contribution size of $20, a number that Sanders is likely to highlight given an increasing focus on grass-roots giving in Democratic politics.

Shakir said 525,000 individuals across all U.S. states and territories gave to the campaign. The average age for Sanders’s donors was under 39 years old, he said.

“Supporters have shown up big time for this campaign. Huge, you could say,” Shakir told reports.

"$18.2 million in the first quarter of 2019"

That Beto guy was $6 million in one day or some such number.  I can't imagine $1 million in a day.  These numbers say forget being president unless you raise millions of dollars in a short time.  What is the message causing these millions of dollars?  Is it "Vote for me and get free stuff?"  That has to be it. People want free healthcare and young people want free college/university on top of free healthcare.

People don't realize free healthcare from the government gives the government the ability to not pay for this and that and that, which people need.  I expect government would limit, rule out, what medical services older people could get.  Those would be the first services stopped - get rid of the elderly. The government would decide who died and when.  Kill babies while being born and kill the elderly, then there is more money to pay for sex changes.  Sodom and Gomorrah lives.
