Yeah, makes ya wonder who were the poor dupes who gave their hard-earned money to a Bush? Hard to fathom. I guess it really is like they say, 'There's a Sucka born every minute.'

I was just reading the same article, and was ready to post a thread about it. I found it interesting that the candidates raising the most money aren't showing much for it. Hillary raised twice as much as Sanders, and isn't far ahead of him. Cruz raised way more than Trump, and is still lagging behind. I imagine free advertising from the press helps. Sanders and Trump have definitely been dominating the news outlets.
