Ran across this while searching the web:


How much money has been raised so far for the 2016 presidential election?

The breakdown of contributions from both parties for the 2016 U.S. presidential race, focusing on the top ten candidates according to the Federal Election Commission, are as follows:

1) Hillary Clinton $77,471,603.55
2) Bernie Sanders $41,463,783.81
3) Ben Carson $31,409,508.61
4) Ted Cruz $26,567,298.26
5) Marco Rubio $25,328,081.03
6) Jeb Bush $24,814,729.70
7) Rand Paul $ 9,442,030.77
8) Carly Fiorina $ 8,496,012.50
9) Donald Trump $ 5,828,922.10

Just found it interesting...
 
Yes....the crap about buying an election is exactly that...crap....Jeb, "ricky bobby" Bush, has been spending millions and millions and he is at the bottom.....

Money doesn't guarantee anything in politics....the only reason that the nutters complain about money in politics is because they want to silence the people they hate......
 
Looks like $250,000,000 spent so far. Likely voters are what? A million? Should have just mailed out checks for $250.

I see what you did there.

Money doesnt guarantee anything in politics, but those who rely on other's money in politics are unable to help the people.

Bernie, no PACs...Trump, no PACs.
 
Two things that are amazing about this: Sanders is getting a ton of donations from normal people. Trump not as much but he doesn't have to, he is winning while hardly spending anything.
I missed Carson he is only behind Sanders in non pac money.I will vote Carson before Cruz or Bush look at all that pac money talk about sellouts. Hillary is a sellout as well look at all that pac money.
