Elizabeth Warren Has Raised An Absolutely Absurd Amount Of Campaign Cash

Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren raised a stunning $3.4 million towards her 2018 Senate bid last quarter, according to a Thursday announcement.

The amount raised the Democrat’s available campaign cash to $11.03 million, according to a report from Politico. That number is already over a quarter of the $42,506,349 she spent during her 2012 election.

Warren’s campaign asserts that the amount came from 9,377 individual donations from within the state of Massachusetts, and the campaign also claims that 98 percent of all donations were smaller than $100, a sign that Warren has a good deal of grassroots support.

The progressive’s totals are an incredible feat compared to former Georgia Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff, whose stunning campaign haul was largely made up of large donations from Democratic strongholds in California.

Warren doesn’t yet have an official Republican challenger for 2018, but the high early fundraising haul reveals that she is one of the most effective fundraisers of the Democratic Party. She also has a proven record of gaining a large number of individual donations, something that Sen. Bernie Sanders used to sustain his 2016 challenge to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The high fundraising numbers, coupled with her extensive grassroots support, could come into play if Warren decides to run for president in the 2020 election cycle. She’s mentioned several times in the past year that she has no plans to run for the White House, but several Facebook groups with tens of thousands of followers are attempting to draft the high-profile progressive to the race.

fraudsters ( e.g collusion with foreigners ) can deploy so-called robo-donations, computer programs that use false names to spew hundreds of donations a day in small increments, in order to evade reporting requirements.

98% is 9189 donations. Say they're $99 each, $909,711. Leaves $2,490,289 for the other 188 donations.

$13,246 each. 73%, minimum, of her money came from bigwigs!!

In her state of liberal insanity she could win her next election by simply saying I want to be reelected.

All of this excess money will be for her run for president.

If my math is correct (this is pretty quick calcs - tell me if I'm being dumb:)

if 98% of all donations were < 100$, let's say they were each 100$

Then, less than 1 M$, or about 2.5% came from 98% of the donors.

Or, 41 mil came from about 20 donors. Meaning EACH of the 2% gave and average 2 Million.

Elizabeth Warren is controlled 98% by rich people.

"In her state of liberal insanity she could win her next election by simply saying I want to be reelected."

Yup. The (D) machine is well-entrenched here -- thousands and thousands of voters who might be inclined to vote Republican (or not vote at all) are kept in democrat line by the unions, either through perks or threats. I've lived in a few states, and nowhere else were the unions such an obvious, powerful force as they are here.

Even worse, our state GOP is extremely mediocre. Prime example being Governor Charlie "assault weapon ban" Baker.

Check out Toddsterpatriot’s post above yours. I think the 98% in-state donation number is a percentage of the 3.4 million number, not the 42M 2012 campaign number.

May these donations be as well spent as the donations to Jill Stein’s recount.
