Lol, Pete's going to be out of this thing within 6 weeks when it's proven that was all staged.

I have no real reason for thinking this, but I always sort of assumed that the end of a campaign is usually completely determined by the point at which the candidate runs out of money.

yes.

1st quarter fec numbers won't come out for another couple of weeks, but some campaigns are probably going to disclose partial info before then, so i want to get a few guesses in for candidates of interest. individual q1 donations only, not including any super pac or money transferred from previous campaigns.

where i include a range, i have more confidence. a single number less so.

sanders - 22-27 million
harris - 18
beto - 12-15
buttigieg - 8
warren - 6

not a great guess by me. not a great number for harris.

I’ve been a Beto guy but I’m very close to being #TeamPete

So what? This primary season is already completely insufferable.

i think politicians know what they're good at and what they aren't good at, mir.

Sure. But it's rough ridin' April 1 and people are comparing gaggle counts. The democrats can't help themselves.

it's something i'm interested in at this particular point in time. i'm not trying to persuade you that you should be as well.

Yeah, I'm just #peteing until the debates and then I'll continue #peteing while also starting to pay attention to other candidates

The people on left side don't even vote.

I'll be honest, my confidence that the Democrats won't eff this up is very low.

they have a lot of candidates that are probably broadly acceptable.

so far, my guesses have been too high for everyone. good number of donors for sanders, but his avg donation dropped to $20. i kinda assumed they managed that with donation level suggestions to try and always hit $27.

(Gregorian Style)
Hear us, O Beto, and have mercy, because we have sinned against Thee.
Hear us, O Beto, and have mercy, because we have sinned against Thee.

To Thee, highest Beto,
Redeemer of all,
do we lift up our eyes
in weeping:
Hear, O Beto, the prayers
of your servants.

Hear us, O Beto, and have mercy, because we have sinned against Thee.

Right hand of the Beto,
corner-stone,
way of salvation,
gate of utopia,
wash away our
stains of sin.

Hear us, O Beto, and have mercy, because we have sinned against Thee.

We beseech Thee, Beto,
in Thy great majesty:
Hear our groans
with Thy holy ears:
calmly forgive
our crimes.

Biden's real problems have nothing to do with him being overly affectionate (LibDerp Nation circling the wagons word).

It's: Ukraine, Burisma Holdings, Rosemont-Seneca Partners LLC, Poroshenko, Shokin, Biden Jr. (with help from Barry Obama)

Wackycat08, what is the scariest part of a Bernie presidency for you?

Do we really want an 80 year old president. I mean 80 is incredibly old. 80!

yes, it's time to start governing for the future instead of the past.

sys, is the money raised an actual indicator of who the people want to win and/or will be good at the job, or an indicator of who could win based on having suckered the most money out of people with which to survive campaign costs?

A lot of this seems like the dumb way movies are ranked based on how much money they brought in, when that's really just a function of how good a movie's marketing was and how much tickets were at the time.
